Goldammer Goldeck 16
The Goldeck 16 is a subminiature camera made by Goldammer for 16mm film. It dates from the postwar European subminiature wave, when compact 16mm cameras were marketed as pocketable alternatives to larger formats.
At UK auction the Goldeck 16 is a thinly traded subminiature, and the only recent hammer result on file is £81 from October 2025, so today that single data point is the best guide to what one sells for at saleroom level. With so few auction comparables, the price a clean example fetches in 2026 can swing meaningfully on cosmetics, completeness and whether the original case is present.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Goldeck 16 worth today?
On the available UK auction evidence the Goldeck 16 is worth around £80 at hammer, based on a single 2025 sale at £81; with only one data point this should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market value.
How much does a Goldeck 16 sell for at auction?
The most recent recorded UK auction hammer price is £81 in October 2025, which is the only verified sale in the dataset used for this price guide.
Is the Goldeck 16 a rare camera?
It appears infrequently in UK salerooms — only one hammer result is on file in the recent sales history — so buyers may need to wait for the right example rather than expecting regular availability.
