Kodak Cartridge No.5
The Kodak Cartridge No.5 is an early roll-film camera from Kodak's late-19th/early-20th-century cartridge line, a family of cameras designed around daylight-loading roll film. It sits within the period when Kodak was establishing roll-film photography as a consumer format.
Sales data for the Cartridge No.5 is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result from February 2022 recorded a price of £150, so any sense of what one sells for today rests on that lone data point rather than an established range. With only one wholesale saleroom result on file, the current value should be treated as indicative only, and condition, completeness and originality will swing the price materially either way.
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. How this figure is calculated.
