Goerz Minicord III (brown)

The Goerz Minicord III is a subminiature twin-lens reflex camera using 16mm film, produced by the Austrian branch of Goerz in Vienna. The brown leather-covered version is a less commonly seen variant of a camera aimed at the postwar miniature-format market.

Sales data for the brown Minicord III is very thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £440 in May 2013 is the only reference point available, and one wholesale saleroom price from over a decade ago cannot establish a reliable today value. Buyers asking what a Minicord III in brown is worth in 2026 should treat that figure as indicative only and watch current listings, since condition and completeness of accessories tend to drive what these subminiature TLRs sell for.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Goerz Minicord III (brown) worth today?

The only recorded UK auction hammer price in our data is £440 from 2013, so a current market value cannot be stated with confidence and recent comparable sales should be checked before buying or selling.

How much does a Goerz Minicord III sell for at auction?

Evidence is limited to a single £440 hammer result, and prices for subminiature TLRs like this are highly condition-sensitive, with working examples and complete outfits achieving the strongest values.

What film does the Minicord III use?

It is a 16mm subminiature camera, so usable film stock and original spools are now a key practical consideration affecting price.
