Kodak Pocket Kodak Box

The Pocket Kodak Box is an early Eastman Kodak roll-film box camera, designed as a compact, pocketable snapshot tool aimed at amateur users. It is a wooden-bodied, leatherette-covered camera typical of late-Victorian and Edwardian Kodak production, and today it sits in the collectable antique-camera category rather than as a working photographic tool.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Pocket Kodak Box have clustered in the £100–£160 range, with a median around £110 based on saleroom results — these are wholesale auction levels, not retail dealer asking prices. As of 2026, clean, complete examples with intact leatherette and a working shutter sell for around £100, while earlier or particularly presentable examples have fetched up to roughly £160. Condition, completeness of original spools and box, and cosmetic preservation are the main factors that decide where a given camera lands in that band.
