Kinder Kin-Dar Stereocamera
The Kin-Dar Stereocamera is a stereo film camera produced in the United States by Kinder, a maker associated with mid-20th-century American stereo photography. It was aimed at amateur stereo enthusiasts during the post-war boom in 3D imaging.
Auction data for the Kin-Dar Stereocamera is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result from 1998 hammered at £86, which is the only datapoint available to indicate what one sells for. With no recent comparables, today's value should be treated as indicative only, and condition, completeness of any original case or viewer, and working shutters will heavily influence what a clean example is worth.
