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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kodak Petite worth today?
On the limited UK auction evidence available, hammer prices have clustered around £108–£109, so a representative example is worth roughly that at wholesale auction level, with retail prices typically higher.
How much does a Kodak Petite sell for at auction?
The two recorded UK auction sales both fell at £108 and £109, indicating the camera sells for a little over £100 at hammer when a reasonable example comes up.
What affects the price of a Kodak Petite?
Condition of the coloured enamel body and the integrity of the bellows are the main value drivers; chipped finishes and pinholed bellows materially reduce what a Petite is worth.
