Kodak No.3 Series C
The Kodak No.3 Series C is an early 20th-century folding roll-film camera produced by Eastman Kodak. It belongs to the family of medium-format folding cameras that Kodak made in large numbers for amateur photographers in the early 1900s.
With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result, the No.3 Series C sold for £149 in early 2021 at saleroom level (wholesale, not retail). On that limited evidence, the price for a complete example sits in the low three figures, but a single data point is not a reliable guide to what one is worth today in 2026.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kodak No.3 Series C worth?
On the only UK auction record available, a No.3 Series C sold for £149 at hammer, so the value of a presentable example sits in the low three figures, though a single sale is not a firm guide to current price.
How much does a Kodak No.3 Series C sell for at auction?
The one recorded hammer price is £149 from January 2021; with so little data, sellers should treat that figure as indicative rather than a market median.
What should I check before buying one?
Check the bellows for light leaks, the shutter for accurate speeds, and the lens for haze or fungus, as these are the faults that most affect both usability and resale value.
