Ilford Advocate (I)

The Ilford Advocate (I) is a British-made 35mm viewfinder camera, distinguished by its cream/ivory enamelled cast-alloy body. Produced in the post-war era, it was positioned as a compact domestic 35mm camera aimed at amateur photographers.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Advocate (I) have sat in a narrow £110–£120 band across the sales on record, giving a median around £115 as of 2026. With so few data points, the Advocate's worth today is condition-sensitive: clean, working examples with an intact finish tend to sell for the top of that range, while scuffed or sticky-shuttered bodies attract little interest at saleroom level.
