Coronet Midget green

The Coronet Midget is a small Bakelite subminiature camera introduced in the 1930s, using 16mm roll film. The green variant is one of several coloured finishes Coronet offered alongside black, producing a collector-oriented subminiature at a low price point when new.

At recent UK auction, green Midget examples have fetched hammer prices between roughly £88 and £140, with a median around £115 in today's market. Coloured Bakelite variants like the green version typically command a premium over the more common black finish, and price is highly sensitive to the condition of the body and the presence of the original case.
