Kodak No. 1 Cone Pocket Kodak
The No. 1 Cone Pocket Kodak is an early Kodak roll-film camera from the late 19th century, named for the tapered cone-shaped body that collapses into a pocketable form. It is a collector-grade piece rather than a user camera, valued primarily for its place in early photographic history.
Sales evidence for the No. 1 Cone Pocket Kodak is thin, but the two recorded UK auction hammer results both landed at £2,400, giving a consistent reference point at saleroom level as of 2026. Because only a handful of examples surface publicly, what a No. 1 Cone Pocket Kodak is worth today depends heavily on completeness, original finish and provenance, and exceptional examples can sell for considerably more than the recorded figures.
