Kodak No. 4 Kodak Camera

The No. 4 Kodak Camera is an early roll-film box camera produced by the Eastman company in the late 19th century. It was a larger-format sibling to the original Kodak, aimed at amateurs who wanted bigger negatives from a simple, factory-loaded camera.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the No. 4 Kodak Camera have spanned roughly £74 to £900, reflecting wide condition and completeness differences rather than a settled market value. With only a pair of recorded saleroom results to reference, today's price guidance is indicative rather than definitive, and cosmetically clean, mechanically intact examples sit toward the upper end of that range. Buyers asking what a No. 4 Kodak is worth should treat these figures as wholesale hammer levels from UK auctions.
