Gaumont Movie camera (35m)
The Gaumont 35mm movie camera is an early cine camera built for professional 35mm motion picture film, dating from the era when Gaumont was active as a French manufacturer of cinematographic equipment. Cameras of this type were positioned as working production tools rather than amateur equipment.
UK auction data for this Gaumont 35mm movie camera is extremely thin, with a single recorded hammer result of £2,900 from 2007. With only one saleroom data point and no recent comparables through to today, any current price guidance on what one is worth is indicative rather than firm, and condition, completeness and provenance would heavily influence what a fresh example sells for.
