Kodak Cine model BB
The Kodak Cine model BB is a vintage cine camera from Kodak's amateur movie line, representing the type of small-gauge home-movie equipment Kodak produced for the consumer market in the early-to-mid 20th century. It is now of interest mainly to collectors of early cine apparatus rather than as a working tool.
With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result (£100 in 2013), the Cine model BB has very thin market data, and that figure represents a wholesale saleroom price rather than a dealer retail value. Today in 2026 it is difficult to say what a clean example reliably sells for, and the price a specific camera is worth at auction will depend heavily on condition, completeness and presentation on the day.
