Devry Standard Automatic

The Devry Standard Automatic is a hand-cranked 35mm motion picture camera, a category of professional and semi-professional cine equipment introduced in the early decades of the twentieth century. It was sold as a portable field camera at a time when 35mm cine work was largely studio-bound.

Sales data for the Standard Automatic is extremely thin: a single UK auction-hammer result on file shows the camera selling for £300 in late 2010, a wholesale saleroom level rather than a dealer asking price. With only one record, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a firm market price, and condition, completeness of the original case and accessories, and mechanical function will heavily influence what an example sells for.

Sales History

Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
