Kodak No. 3 Kodak Jr. Camera
The No. 3 Kodak Jr. is an early roll-film folding camera produced by Kodak, dating from the late 19th century when the company was establishing its mass-market roll-film system. It was sold as a wooden-bodied folding camera intended for amateur use.
Auction evidence for the No. 3 Kodak Jr. is thin: a single UK saleroom result from February 2024 saw an example sell for £94 at hammer (wholesale, before commission). With only one data point, today's price guidance for what a No. 3 Kodak Jr. is worth sits around that £94 figure, though condition, completeness of the bellows and presence of the original case can push values either side of it.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
