gina_grapengeter Posted July 19, 1998 Share Posted July 19, 1998 Help! I am confused by the explanations about the Brownie Six-16. I have a camera that I was told was made at the turn of the century. Itsays Brownie Target Six-16 on the front of it, it is contained in black leather and it looks like the front pulls off (although I am afraid to try this). Is it possible that the camera could be this oldor were they not made until the 40's?? Any help is appreciated. <p> Thanks, Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry_haak Posted July 20, 1998 Share Posted July 20, 1998 Gina, <p> The Brownie Target Six-16 was made in the late 40s. See http://members.aol.com/Chuck02178/46.htm. A lot of people assume that if a camera is a black box camera that it must be old, real old, like the turn of the century. This is not the case. They were made well into the 1950s. <p> As for the front of the camera, yes, it can come off. But I would only do it if you need to, like to clean the lens or inspect the shutter mechanism. <p> Hope that helps. <p> Larry W.

michelle_c1 Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I have a Canadian model Target six-16 brownie. It was made in 1932. I however haven't heard any info about this particular model, and if anyone could tell me how much it is worth, It would be greatly appreciated, I assume it could be anywhere from $5-20, but considering this seems to be a 'rarer model' (all other models I've heard of were introduced in 1946), I was wondering if it worth more... or less than I thought. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
