Bell & Howell Eyemo 71 Model C
The Bell & Howell Eyemo 71 Model C is a 35mm motion picture camera, part of the Eyemo 71 series of hand-held cine cameras introduced in the 1920s for professional newsreel and documentary work.
Evidence of what an Eyemo 71 Model C is worth at UK auction is thin: a single hammer result of £13,000 in November 2025 is the only recent data point, so today's price guidance is best read as indicative rather than a settled market. As that figure is a saleroom hammer price, the wholesale level achieved before commissions, the retail value through a specialist dealer would typically sit higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Bell & Howell Eyemo 71 Model C worth today?
On the only recent UK auction record available, an Eyemo 71 Model C hammered at £13,000 in late 2025, but with just one data point that price should be treated as a single reference rather than a reliable median.
How much does a Bell & Howell Eyemo 71 Model C sell for at auction?
The most recent UK hammer price on file is £13,000; condition, completeness of lenses and accessories, and working order are likely to swing the value materially either side of that figure.
Is the Eyemo 71 Model C a stills or movie camera?
It is a 35mm motion picture camera from Bell & Howell's Eyemo 71 hand-held cine series, not a stills camera.
