Bertram (BCI)
The Bertram (BCI) is a camera produced by Bertram, listed here as a collector-market reference.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Bertram (BCI) have ranged from about £330 to £800 across the limited sales on record, so the value sits in the low-to-mid hundreds today depending on condition and completeness. With only a couple of saleroom results known, what a Bertram (BCI) sells for can vary widely, and a clean, complete example tends to attract a premium over a worn one.
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.
