The Six-20 Brownie box camera was made by Kodak in the US and Kodak Ltd. in the UK between May 1933 & April 1941. The US and UK models were entirely different in both construction and art-deco facia. Both took 620 film for 6x9cm images.

US Model
The US model feature two focusing distances, "5-10 feet", and "10 feet and beyond", and an aperture selection slider.
The Six-20 Boy Scout Brownie was similar to the US Six-20 Brownie, but was green with a different face plate featuring a boy scout crest. The Six-16 Brownie was almost identical to the US Six-20, but slightly larger, for 116 film.
UK Model
There were two versions of the UK model; the earlier (1934-37) having an unusual strut connection linking the front to the back via a hinged pressure plate, and the later (1937-41) having a more conventional rear door. The controls were arranged around the lens; a small B-I shutter selector (on the early model moved to the side on later), and two levers giving a choice of three distances and three apertures - labelled "f11", "16" and "22 (B Only), see manual".
