Houghton Klito No.2B
The Houghton Klito No.2B is an early British box-form roll film camera produced by Houghton of London. It sits in the budget end of the early-twentieth-century amateur market, where the Klito series was sold as a simple snapshot camera.
Sales data for the Klito No.2B is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result from August 2024 saw one sell for £20, which represents the only verified saleroom price we have on file as of 2026. With just one data point at this wholesale level, it is difficult to define a reliable value range, and condition, completeness and the presence of the original case will swing what a Klito No.2B is worth far more than headline figures suggest.

Based on the single UK auction record we hold, a Klito No.2B sold for £20 at hammer in 2024; with so little data, treat that figure as indicative rather than a firm market price.
How much does a Houghton Klito No.2B sell for at auction?
The only verified sale in our records is £20, and that price reflects a wholesale saleroom result before buyer's premium rather than a dealer or retail asking price.
Is the Klito No.2B a collectible camera?
It has interest mainly to collectors of early British Houghton cameras; value is driven by condition, completeness and originality rather than by photographic usability.
