An August, 2010, acquisition, this camera was made by Kodak London Ltd., between June 1939 and sometime in 1940. At first it looks like a simple box camera, but you'd be wrong to assume that, my friend: Once again, the British Kodaks far surpass their American counterparts, by including a slide-out close-up lens! Why, oh why, did the Yanks never do this for their market?
The styling is also very nice, from the metal side-blaze coming out from the side of the lens, to the identifying ring around that lens. The British Brownies can also be quickly identified by quotation marks around the word Brownie, i.e. Six-20 'Brownie' Senior.
The first b&w pics shown here are from test roll, shot shortly after acquisition.
February 2012: 2-29-12 was Take Your Box Camera to Work Day, aka TYBCTWD12, a "holiday" created over at flickr's Box Camera Revolution group. I shot a roll of Fujichrome Velvia 50 and cross-processed it in my Jobo C-41 home kit. Pretty groovy results! Seven of the 8 pics are posted here.
