Houghton Folding Scout No.3
The Houghton Folding Scout No.3 is a British folding roll-film camera from the early twentieth century, produced by the London-based Houghton firm as part of its Scout range of budget folding cameras for amateur use.
Sales data for the Folding Scout No.3 is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result from 2022 saw one sell for £19, so as of today there is no meaningful price band to quote. At saleroom level these inexpensive early folders typically change hands for low double-digit sums, and value is heavily condition-dependent — bellows integrity and shutter function dictate what a clean example is worth versus a display-only piece.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
