The Jiffy
Kodak Six-16 Series II Camera was 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, built in shutter with time and instantaneous actions, two
crowned brilliant finders, foot support to stand camera for time
exposures. 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.
