Kodak Folding Pocket No.3A

The Kodak No. 3A Folding Pocket is a roll-film folding camera produced by Eastman Kodak in the early twentieth century. It used 122 roll film to produce postcard-format negatives, and was sold as a portable folding camera for amateur photographers of its era.

Auction evidence for this model is thin: a single recorded UK hammer result from 2002 sold for £47, and that figure remains the only data point for what a No. 3A Folding Pocket is worth at saleroom level. With so little recent activity, today's price for a working example cannot be reliably bracketed from sales data alone, and condition, completeness of the bellows, and presence of the original case will drive what any individual camera sells for.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Kodak No. 3A Folding Pocket worth today?

The only recorded UK auction hammer price in our data is £47 from 2002, so a current value cannot be established with confidence and individual examples will vary widely by condition.

How much does a Kodak Folding Pocket No. 3A sell for at auction?

With just one logged hammer result of £47, the price a given example sells for depends heavily on bellows integrity, shutter function and whether the original case and instructions are present.

What film did the No. 3A Folding Pocket use?

It was designed for 122 roll film, producing postcard-format negatives; 122 film is no longer manufactured.
