This camera is in STUNNING condition. It has spent the last 85 years in its leather case, and, while the case doesn’t look so grand, the camera looks as though it had just come off the shelf. It astounds me to see any object of this age that has apparently been untouched by time. It is not only undamaged, it shows none of the usual dulling effects of oxidation and age. All I have done to it is wipe my fingerprints off the chrome and paint. The leather is PERFECT and needed no Armor All or moisturizing treatment of any kind. I doubt that this camera has ever been used.
I stop short of saying that it is mint condition for these two reasons: 1.) there is one nit-sized blemish on one of the chrome struts which may or may not actually be a product of the factory (see photos), and, 2.) there are dust or cement particles inside the lens. To my eye, with magnification, it might have some light haze as well, but the specks don’t have the tendrils of fungus. I don't know how complicated this lens is. Ordinarily, if I were selling an old camera, I would open and clean the lens first, but I didn’t want to chance having my spanner wrench slip and mar the glass or the finish. It makes be uncomfortable to handle this camera for fear of dinging or scratching its pristine condition. Because 616 film is no long available in stores I see this camera as part of a collection, although everything -including the aperture blades and all shutter speeds- function like new. Again, because 616 film is no longer commercially available, I am unable to verify that the focus is accurate. The prism finder glass is clear, although there does appear to be dust somewhere inside. There is no dust or any signs of use inside the dark chamber. The take-up spool is where it should be.
   This is a must-see item. If I didn't know otherwise, I’d assume that this camera was a recent reproduction of an original Kodak Six-16.
