Ferrania Astor
The Ferrania Astor is a mid-20th-century camera made by the Italian manufacturer Ferrania, a firm better known for its photographic film. It was sold as an entry-level snapshot camera rather than an enthusiast model.
Sales data for the Ferrania Astor is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction result, hammered at £100 in 2005, is the only data point available. With no recent saleroom activity to anchor a current price in 2026, this figure should be treated as historical context rather than a reliable guide to what the camera is worth or sells for today.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Ferrania Astor worth today?
Only one UK auction hammer result is on record (£100 in 2005), so there is no reliable current value; recent comparable sales would be needed to establish what one sells for in 2026.
How much does a Ferrania Astor sell for at auction?
The single recorded hammer price is £100, but with no follow-up sales it is not possible to give a meaningful price range.
Is the Ferrania Astor a collectible camera?
It has some interest as an Italian-made camera from a brand more associated with film, but the scarcity of auction records suggests limited active collector demand.
