Old pocket Kodak camera (help + pics)

Not quite sure what it is or any other information on it. I picked it up today at the local thrift store for $2.50. Care to help a poor lad out? And sorry for the out of focus etc. My camera screen just broke so I am guessing on the focus.

Sorry to hear about your camera's display.

That is a Kodak "folder", meaning that it folds to a more compact size when not in use.

There's a fair chance that it's the same as one of the models on the following site, but I don't see a perfect match.

If it's one of the "620" models, you might even be able to load modern 120 film in it, especially if both reels are still in the camera. (It does take some work however.)

Here is Kodak's list of all film cameras, including folding cameras, produced through fairly recent times.

If there is film in the camera, there is a (distant and remote) possibility that there might even ve latent images still capable of being processed. Be sure to check in complete, I mean "complete" darkness, if you open the camera back. If you are unsure, find someone with actual darkroom processing experience to check it for you.

If there is no film in the camera, you can measure both the film reel size and the image size to help determine which camera this is.

Thanks ziggy. I have a darkroom bag at my school and a real darkroom there which I could use both in (as extra insurance) to check.

As to opening, first I have to figure out how



EDIT:
It is the Kodak Brownie Six-20 Stock No 1768. Now tomorrow I can bring it in and get it foldable again
