Kodak Autographic Special No.3A Model B
The Kodak Autographic Special No.3A Model B is an early 20th-century folding roll-film camera. It used 122-format film to produce postcard-size negatives and was sold as part of Kodak's Autographic line, which allowed photographers to write notes onto the film backing through a flap on the camera back.
Evidence on what an Autographic Special No.3A Model B is worth today is thin: a single UK auction hammer result on file, from January 2026, sold for £38. With only one wholesale saleroom datapoint to work from, that figure is the best available guide to current value rather than a reliable median, and clean, complete examples with working shutters and intact bellows could sell for more.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kodak Autographic Special No.3A Model B worth?
Based on the limited UK auction data available, one recent hammer sale recorded a price of £38, so that is the only firm reference point for what the camera sells for today.
How much does a Kodak Autographic Special No.3A Model B sell for at auction?
The single sale on record fetched £38 at hammer in early 2026; condition of the bellows, shutter and lens will move the price up or down from that level.
What film did the Autographic Special No.3A Model B use?
It was built for 122 roll film, which produced postcard-format negatives and is no longer manufactured, so most surviving examples are bought as display or collector pieces rather than working cameras.
