Kodak No. 2 Kodak Camera

The No. 2 Kodak Camera is an early roll-film box camera from Kodak, introduced in the late 19th century as a successor to the original Kodak. It was sold pre-loaded with film and returned to the factory for processing, aimed at amateur photographers in the era before user-loadable roll film became standard.

At UK auction today, hammer prices for the No. 2 Kodak Camera have ranged from roughly £300 to £400, with a median around £350 across the two recorded saleroom results — wholesale levels achieved before buyer's and seller's commission. With only a small sample of sales, what one sells for depends heavily on the completeness of the original case, condition of the leather covering, and whether internal mechanisms remain intact.
