Kodak, Brownie Six-16, roll film camera, c1938

Trapezoidal all metal box camera, made in US. Well that just about sums it up, but it has its own cute appeal which is how it found itself brought to England from its lifelong home in San Francisco. Nothing to do except clean it and make some film to go in it. An endearing feature is the way the entire shutter mechanism can be lifted out to clean the back of the lens.
