Houghton Ensignette No.2 De Luxe (anastigmat)
The Houghton Ensignette No.2 De Luxe is a small folding strut roll-film camera from the early 20th century, fitted in this De Luxe form with an anastigmat lens. It was sold as a pocketable travel camera in the period when strut-folding designs were popular.
Auction data for this specific De Luxe anastigmat variant is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom result from 2004 recorded a hammer price of £157. With only one verified data point, it is not possible to publish a reliable current price range or median for what one is worth in 2026, and any value cited today would need confirmation against fresh comparable hammer results.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Houghton Ensignette No.2 De Luxe worth today?
The only hammer result on file is £157 from a UK auction in 2004, so a current value cannot be stated with confidence and recent comparable sales should be checked before buying or selling.
How much does an Ensignette No.2 De Luxe sell for at auction?
On the single UK auction record available, an anastigmat-fitted example sold for £157 at the hammer, excluding buyer's and seller's commission.
Does the anastigmat lens version command a higher price?
The De Luxe anastigmat specification is generally regarded as the more desirable Ensignette variant, but the sales history here is too limited to quantify any premium in price terms.
