Kodak Petite

The Kodak Petite is a small vest-pocket folding camera produced by Kodak in the early 20th century, aimed at consumers who wanted a decorative, pocketable snapshot camera. It was marketed as a style-led variant of Kodak's compact folding range rather than a technical photographer's tool.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Kodak Petite have ranged from around £82 to £200, with a median near £140 based on the limited sales on record. As of 2026, the Petite's value is driven largely by cosmetic condition and colour — decorative coloured bellows and enamel finishes sell for more, while scuffed or faded examples sell for well under £100 at saleroom level.
