A masterpiece of industrial design, this Kodak Six-16 Brownie Special was manufactured in the United States between 1938 and 1942. Designed by the legendary industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague, this camera is a quintessential example of the Art Deco movement. Unlike the standard rectangular box cameras of the time, the Special features a unique, streamlined "wedge" or trapezoidal shape, finished in a durable black textured metal with polished chrome accents. What makes this camera truly special is its curved film plane, a sophisticated engineering choice for the era that helped sharpen image quality by compensating for the simple lens. It also features a "brilliant" optical viewfinder and a built-in pull-out stand for vertical stabilization. This is not just a camera; it is a stunning piece of 20th-century American design history that brings a touch of machine-age elegance to any collection.
It is in great vintage condition (marks and wear consistent with its age and history).
