The Houghton Ensignette No.1 is an early 20th-century British strut-folding rollfilm camera made for compact, pocketable use. This nickel-finished variant was fitted with an anastigmat lens, placing it above the basic meniscus-equipped versions when new.

With only a single recorded UK auction result, pricing data is thin: one nickel anastigmat example sold at hammer for £300 in 2011, and that figure remains the only saleroom benchmark we can cite today. Because this is a wholesale auction result rather than a dealer asking price, what a collector pays at retail in 2026 is typically higher, and condition of the struts, bellows and nickel plating heavily influences what an Ensignette No.1 sells for.
