Vintage Kodak Six-20 Folding Camera with Anaston Lens & Original Leather Carrying Case
A classic Kodak Six-20 folding roll-film camera, complete with its original fitted black leather carrying case and shoulder strap. Finished in black leatherette with bright nickel-plated hardware, the camera features Kodak's well-regarded folding bellows design, allowing it to collapse into a compact travel format while extending to full operating position for photography.
The camera is fitted with a Kodak Anaston lens mounted in a Kodamatic shutter, an arrangement favored on quality Kodak folding cameras of the late 1930s and 1940s. The front standard incorporates an optical viewfinder and manual focusing scale, while the bellows remain an iconic example of Kodak's practical engineering during the golden age of amateur photography.
Founded by George Eastman in 1888, Eastman Kodak revolutionized photography by making cameras accessible to the general public. Folding cameras such as this Six-20 model became popular with travelers and families alike, combining portability with the ability to produce large-format negatives that offered excellent image quality for the period.
Retaining its original leather case, this example presents as an attractive display piece for collectors of vintage cameras, industrial design, and photographic history. Whether displayed alongside other Kodak equipment or incorporated into a collection of twentieth-century photographic instruments, it represents an enduring symbol of Kodak's influence on consumer photography.
