Kodak Kodascope

The Kodak Kodascope is a line of 16mm film projectors first introduced in the 1920s as part of Kodak's domestic 16mm movie system. It was positioned as home and amateur projection equipment, designed to show reversal film shot on companion Cine-Kodak cameras.

At recent UK auction, Kodascope projectors have fetched hammer prices in a narrow £25–£30 band — wholesale saleroom results rather than retail asking prices, and a reflection of thin collector demand. As of 2026 the median sits around £28, with value today driven almost entirely by working condition, completeness of case and reels, and whether a usable lamp is fitted. With very few recorded sales, a single clean working example with original accessories can sell for meaningfully more than the typical price.
