Kodak Six-20 Boy Scout Brownie

Kodak · USA · 1933–1934 (1 years) · 135 film

The Six-20 Boy Scout Brownie was a simple, fixed-focus box camera produced by Kodak for just two years, 1933 and 1934. Designed as an entry-level 35mm camera for a younger audience, including Boy Scouts, it offered basic snapshot photography at an affordable price point. Characterized by its minimalist construction and straightforward operation, it featured a simple meniscus lens and a rotary shutter with only a few speed settings, primarily aimed at capturing casual outdoor scenes and troop activities. While representative of Kodak's strategy to popularize photography across different demographics, it was a utilitarian device without significant technical innovation or design distinction compared to contemporary Kodak models.
