Description from the seller
Kodak Duo Six-20 Art Deco Styled Folding Camera First Model 1933-37 with f/3.5 Lens
Lovely precision made folding camera with optical folding finder.
This is the first version of the Duo Six-20, with chrome and black enamel styling on the top and bottom.
It's also the better version off the original with a Kodak Anastigmat 7cm f/3.5 lens with helical focusing operated with a lever.
Shutter speeds are T, B and 1 through to 1/300th second.
The Duo was made in Germany at the Kodak A.G. Dr.Nagel Werk, bought by Kodak to initially produced the Kodak Retina, Kodak's first 35mm camera. The Duo has a good pedigree.
The focus ring is extremely stiff, but responds to being left in a window a while, or gently heated with a heat gun or hair dryer. The stiffness is caused by very old grease which no longer acts as a lubricant.
There's a bit of brassing on the finder.
There's been an attempt to repaint some missing enamel on the bottom of the camera.
Aperture works well.
Slower speeds are sticky.
