Kodak Folding Pocket No.4A
The Kodak Folding Pocket No.4A is an early 20th-century folding rollfilm camera, part of Kodak's Folding Pocket series of self-casing bellows cameras aimed at amateur photographers seeking a portable alternative to plate cameras.
Sales data for this model is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2001 sold for £117, which gives a historical reference point rather than a current market value. Because only one wholesale saleroom result is available, today's worth, price and what a clean example sells for cannot be established with confidence, and condition of the bellows and shutter would heavily influence any sale.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kodak Folding Pocket No.4A worth today?
On the available evidence a single 2001 UK auction hammer of £117 is the only data point, so a reliable current value cannot be quoted; condition and completeness would drive any present-day price.
How much does a Kodak Folding Pocket No.4A sell for at auction?
The one verified UK saleroom result on file hammered at £117, but with only a single sale recorded this should be treated as indicative rather than a market median.
Is the Kodak Folding Pocket No.4A a usable camera?
As an early folding rollfilm Kodak its usability depends on the state of the bellows and shutter; many surviving examples are bought as display pieces rather than working cameras.
