Few Vintage Cameras

[jlanier]

Hello.  I have a few vintage cameras that I really know nothing about.  Thought you guys might be able shed some knowledge on what I have here.  Starting from left to right here's what I've been able to pull off each of these:

Brownie target Six-16
No2 A. Brownie
Zeca /  Zecanar - Anastigmat
Polaroid SX70
Brownie Flash 20
Finetar  (Finetta) Anastigmat
Polaroid Swinger Model 20

I've looked up a couple of the Brownies and seems they're dated 1916 maybe?
 
If I've placed this in the wrong thread please feel free to move it.

  Thanks in advance.

Good basis for a collection, the Finetta cameras are quite nice, is this one fully working? Finetta were made by Piet Saraber, a Dutch Engineer who moved to Goslar in Germany, during the war. They continued camera manufacture till about 1957, using a Ex-Voigtlander engineers design ideas.

The Folding plate Camera is a 1920's ZECA, the lens is a Zecanar, and as long as the Gauthier shutter is OK and the lens is not fungused or cloudy, it should work fine. Gauthier are still in business as Prontor, but Zeca cameras closed in 1948.

Unless Polaroid collecting is a passion, then steer clear of them as film availability is patchy and very costly these days.
