Compass Camerasltd. Compass Set
The Compass Set refers to the Compass Camera, a sub-miniature precision camera produced from the late 1930s by Compass Cameras Ltd. of London. Sold as a complete kit, the set typically bundled the camera body with accessories including a tripod and roll-film back, positioning it at the high end of the precision compact market when new.
Sales data for the Compass Set is very limited, so any guidance on what one is worth today is indicative rather than firm. The single recorded UK auction hammer result we have, from 2022, sold for £2,000 — a wholesale saleroom level for a complete set, with retail dealer asking prices typically running higher. Completeness of the kit and condition of the original case are the key factors that drive the price a Compass Set sells for.
Sales History
