Goerz Minicord III gold

The Goerz Minicord III is a subminiature twin-lens reflex camera that uses 16mm film, produced in the post-war era as a compact alternative to full-size TLRs. The gold-finished version of the Minicord III is a presentation variant of the standard model and is encountered far less often than the chrome finish.

Sales data for the Goerz Minicord III gold is extremely thin: a single UK auction-hammer result of £500 from May 2009 is the only verified data point available, so any current value in 2026 should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable median. Because of the gold finish and the camera's subminiature TLR rarity, condition, completeness of the original case and meter, and cosmetic preservation of the plating tend to drive what the model sells for when it does surface at saleroom level.
