Kodak No. 1 Kodak Camera
The No. 1 Kodak Camera is a late 19th-century roll-film box camera made by Kodak, sold pre-loaded with film and returned to the factory for processing. It belongs to the earliest generation of Kodak cameras aimed at consumers rather than specialists.
Auction evidence for the No. 1 Kodak is thin, with only a single recorded UK hammer result of £920 at Christie's in 1999. Because saleroom appearances are rare, today's value depends heavily on completeness, originality and condition, and a current market price cannot be reliably stated from the data available.
