Description
Kodak Vigilant Junior Six-20
This was my father-in-law's camera, and I'm sure it captured many of the wonderful family photos I have seen from years gone by. Loving photography as I do, I find these old cameras fascinating.
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.

Susan, thank you so much for featuring Kodak Six-20 on the home page of the Women Photographers group!

Must have been made in Germany, with the language upon it, but I love the antiquity and nostalgia behind this piece! f/v
Penny Meyers replied:
Thank you, Randy! I actually now found more accurate information on this camera and know that it was made in either the US or Canada, but indeed their wording does sound German. I too love the nostalgia, this was my father-in-law's camera, so I suspect I have seen many old family photos that were taken with this.

Thanks so much, Mary! This is something a little different for me, as I usually shoot outdoors in nature, so I really appreciate your comment and vote!!
