The Houghton Ensignette is a British-made folding roll-film camera from the early twentieth century, designed as a compact, pocketable snapshot camera. It was produced by Houghton of London and aimed at amateur photographers who wanted a small folding camera for everyday use.

Evidence of what a Houghton Ensignette is worth at UK auction is very thin: the only recorded hammer result in our data is a single 1999 Christie's sale at £46, so a current market range cannot be reliably stated today in 2026. Buyers should treat that figure as a wholesale saleroom data point rather than a retail guide, and expect condition, completeness of the original case, and working bellows to drive what an example actually sells for.
