Houghton Ensign Cinematograph
The Houghton Ensign Cinematograph is an early British motion-picture camera, produced by the London-based Houghton firm in the cine equipment category of the early twentieth century.
Auction data for this model is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result from 2003 saw an example sell for £822 at hammer (wholesale level, before commission). With no further comparables since, it is not possible to give a reliable today's price band, and what a Houghton Ensign Cinematograph is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on the next example to surface and its condition.
