Kodak Brownie Flash B
The Kodak Brownie Flash B is a mid-20th-century roll-film box camera in the long-running Brownie family aimed at casual snapshot photographers. As an entry-level model, it sat at the affordable end of Kodak's amateur line when new.
Today the Brownie Flash B has very modest value at saleroom level: a single tracked UK auction example in October 2025 sold for £6 at the hammer, which sets the only recent reference point for what one sells for. Prices at this end of the market are condition-sensitive, and complete examples with original case or flash attachment can fetch a small premium over loose bodies.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
