The 6-20 is a nice classic camera.
If you Google it, a few good sites will come up.
Brownie Target Six-20

The film is the same as a 120 but it's classified as a 620 because the spool spindle is thinner. You have to take 120 film and re-spool it in a 620 roll.
620 film - Camerapedia.org

A little bit of cleaning will restore the leather on your camera. It's great for a display on the mantlepiece.

you still my be able to find 620 film,but 120 on a 620 spool if you can find one will work. My first camera was a120 brownie...I wish I still had it!

the camera had one 620 spool inside.. hopefully i can find some 620 film. :V i live in a pretty isolated place though, so i wouldn't be surprised if there isn't even 120 film around. :V no big camera stores around here.
