Description

The Target Brownie Six-16 is a quintessential piece of Americana. Produced during the World War II era, it features a striking Art Deco-style metal faceplate that makes it a favorite for shelf display. Unlike the standard "Six-20" Brownie, this "Six-16" model was designed for a larger film format, producing massive 2.5 by 4.25 inch negatives. It is a very simple machine: it has a single shutter speed (Instant), a "B" setting for long exposures (activated by pulling a small metal tab on the top), and two brilliant viewfinders—one for vertical portraits and one for horizontal landscapes.
