Kodak Chevron
The Kodak Chevron is a mid-20th-century American-made rangefinder camera produced by Eastman Kodak. It was positioned as an upper-tier fixed-lens rangefinder for serious amateurs, sitting above Kodak's more common folding and box models of the era.
Sales data for the Kodak Chevron is limited, with a recorded UK auction hammer result of around £250 in 2024. As of today in 2026, that figure gives a rough indication of what a Chevron is worth at saleroom level, though wholesale auction prices can vary widely with cosmetic condition and shutter function, and a single data point should not be read as a firm market value.
