Description
This was my father in-law's camera, and I'm sure it took some great family photos in its day. It's fun to look back at what has changed and what hasn't in photography over all these years.
The Kodak Vigilant Junior Six-20 was a folding camera made in the USA and Canada by Kodak from 1940 to 1948. It took 6x9cm images on 620 film. It was similar to the Kodak Vigilant Six-20, but with a simpler lens and shutter. There was also a larger model, the Vigilant Junior Six-16.
The camera came equipped with either a simple fixed focus Kodet meniscus lens in a Dak shutter, or a better 3 element Bimat lens in a Dakon shutter.

Hi Penny, I like the old camera photos. I just happen to have two Kodak pocket cameras. I have the Junior Six 16 and the NO. 1A Pocket Kodak.
