The Jiffy Kodak Six-16 & Six-20 Series II Cameras were manufactured by the Eastman Kodak Company from 1937 to 1948. Advertised as the simplest folding camera ever devised. Named Jiffy for the speed and ease at which the camera would get ready to shoot. Simply by touching a button the front pops out. Touch a second and the picture is taken. Features included a twindar lens with two f/stops f/8 or f/11, built in shutter with time and instantaneous actions (appx around 1/60th), two cr...owned brilliant finders. Finished in black Moroccan grain covering, black and nickel etched metal front. The six-16 took 8 images, 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch size on 616 film and originally sold for $9.00. Measures 7"L x 1.25"w x 3.25"h when closed. All functions are working perfectly. Own a bit of Kodak photo history with this simple styled camera. I am including a roll of 616 film but only to be used to "go thru the motions" when setting up the camera. This film has been exposed to light and is unusable to photograph with.
