Kodak Gift No.1A
The Kodak Gift No.1A is an early 20th-century folding rollfilm camera, produced by Eastman Kodak as a decorative presentation model rather than a standard utility camera. It belongs to the Kodak folding camera lineage that used 116 rollfilm and was positioned at the time as a gift-oriented variant with distinctive cosmetic treatment.
Auction evidence for the Gift No.1A is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom result in our data is a single hammer price of £610 in 2010, which reflects collector demand for a decorative early Kodak rather than a typical user-grade folder. Because just one wholesale auction result underpins the value today, anyone asking what a Kodak Gift No.1A is worth in 2026 should treat that figure as indicative only and expect significant variation with condition, completeness of original box, and the state of the patterned covering.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kodak Gift No.1A worth today?
Based on the single UK auction hammer result in our records, a Kodak Gift No.1A has sold for around £610, though with so few data points the true market value could be higher or lower depending on condition and originality.
How much does a Kodak Gift No.1A sell for at auction?
The one verified UK saleroom result we have shows a Gift No.1A selling for £610 hammer; presentable, complete examples with the original box tend to command the strongest prices.
Is the Kodak Gift No.1A usable today?
It is not practical as a shooter because it was designed for 116 rollfilm, which is no longer manufactured, so the Gift No.1A is bought almost entirely as a display and collector piece.
