A nicely-styled pseudo-TLR from Herold Products Co. of Chicago, Illinois. As the name implies it exposes 2¼" square images on 620 film. Some dark-plastic "Six Twenty" models resemble the Spartus Full-Vue—a clear ancestor—but use the same body molds as the gray version.

In the bewildering world of Chicago camera brands, the Spartus Six Twenty may also appear under other names, such as Sunbeam.
