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 just seem to be variants of the Spartus Full-Vue—a clear ancestor.
In the bewildering world of Chicago camera brands, the Spartus Six Twenty may also appear under other names, such as Sunbeam.
