Kodak Six-20 Bull's-Eye Brownie

The Six-20 Bull's-Eye Brownie was a basic 35mm camera produced by Kodak from 1938 to 1941, part of the long-running Brownie series that aimed to make photography accessible to the general public. Constructed simply with a Bakelite body and basic fixed-focus lens, it featured a distinctive circular front plate that gave it its "Bull's-Eye" name. As an entry-level camera, it offered minimal controls and was designed for snapshot photography, using standard 135 cartridges that were just becoming more widely available to consumers. Its production coincided with a transitional period in photography when 35mm film was shifting from primarily professional and enthusiast use to becoming more mainstream for amateur photographers, though Kodak's Brownie line had already established itself as the brand for accessible photography decades earlier.
