Kodak Petite Camera
The Kodak Petite is a small folding camera from Kodak's interwar range, produced in the late 1920s and 1930s and aimed at the consumer market as a decorative, pocketable snapshot camera. It is remembered chiefly for its coloured enamel finishes and matching bellows, which placed it in Kodak's style-led line rather than its technical camera offerings.
Only two UK auction hammer results sit in our records for the Kodak Petite, both around £108–£109, giving a very narrow sample of what the camera sells for at saleroom level. As of today this suggests modest wholesale value in the low three figures, though condition of the enamel and bellows is the dominant factor in what any given example is worth, and retail asking prices from specialist dealers typically sit above these auction figures.
