pearl-grained imitation leather covering and two brilliant
view-finders. It also had an easy-to-use hinged back with
a simple spring catch.

The first production of this camera, from 1946 until 1953,
had a plain matt enamel front, a metal winding knob, and
a metal shutter release release button.

striped design faceplate, plastic winding knob, and a
plastic shutter release button. In additon, 2-pin flash
contacts and a triangular spring back catch were added.
Fun Facts:
The Six-20 Brownie Model D is a workhorse of a camera
for a great series produced in the UK for 20 years, starting
in 1937. These box cameras were made to last using
heavy-duty sheet metal. One collector says he come
across these cameras often at flea markets and yard sales,
and rarely does one not work!
