The Kodak Vigilant Six-20 medium format camera was manufactured between 1939-1949 and originally sold for US $38. The cameras came with at least three types of Kodak Anistigmat lens:

F6.3 105mm
F8.8 100mm
Special F4.5 103mm

There are also several shutter types including the Dakon.

The 620 film produced a 6x9 cm image on film. With the manual wind you need to watch the small opening in the back of the camera to make sure that you didn't advance passed the next number as it went passed the opening or you risk losing film space for a picture.
