Bell & Howell 627
The Bell & Howell 627 is a vintage cine camera from the American manufacturer Bell & Howell. It is a collector-oriented item today rather than a working tool, and surfaces in UK auctions as part of mixed cine and amateur movie equipment lots.
Sales data for the 627 is thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £62 in June 2023 is the only verified data point, so a meaningful price range cannot be quoted in 2026. As a wholesale saleroom figure that excludes buyer's and seller's commission, it suggests the 627 currently sells for modest sums and is worth more as a display piece than as a usable camera, with condition and completeness driving what value it has.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
