Kodak Ordinary Kodak B
The Ordinary Kodak B is an early roll-film box camera produced by Kodak in the late 19th century, part of the original Ordinary Kodak series that helped establish amateur photography as a consumer activity. It was positioned as a simple, factory-loaded camera aimed at users who returned the entire camera to Kodak for processing and reloading.
Sales evidence is limited to a single UK auction hammer result of £1,062 in May 2024, so a meaningful price range cannot be drawn for today's market. Because this is a wholesale saleroom figure rather than a dealer asking price, retail values for comparable examples are typically higher, and condition, completeness and provenance heavily influence what an Ordinary Kodak B is worth in 2026.
