The Brownie Target Six-16 was produced in the USA between 1941 and 1951. It came with a number of art deco faceplate. The camera is interesting because of how large it is and its unusual film size. After producing no new film sizes for 16 years Kodak introduced two relatively short lived film sizes in 1932. These were the 620 and 616 which were designed to replace earlier sizes however the other sizes had become so well used around the world that the two new sizes failed to ignite the photographic world and had all but disappeared by the beginning of the 1960s. Kodak discontinued 616 production in 1984 and 620 followed eleven years later in 1995. 616 roll film produced 2 ½” x 4 ¼” pictures. The camera has a meniscus lens, rotary shutter, and sold for $4.00 when introduced originally. The cardboard casing housed the metal and glass components mounted on a black stained piece of wood. Other features of the camera are two brilliant viewfinders (portrait plus landscape), two shutter speeds (timed/bulb plus 1/50 of a second), and a two position aperture slide bar operated from the top of the camera (f11 plus f16). "Target" cameras were primarily made and sold in North America. The name "Target" was used for quite a few different cameras by Kodak including Hawk-Eye cameras as well for Brownie cameras.
