Kodak Screen Focus No.4

The Kodak Screen Focus No.4 is an early roll-film folding camera produced by Eastman Kodak, dating from the late 1890s era of American amateur photography. It was positioned as a higher-specification model that allowed ground-glass focusing in addition to roll-film use, aimed at enthusiasts who wanted more control than basic box Kodaks offered.

UK auction activity for the Screen Focus No.4 is thin, with a single recorded hammer result of £90 in May 2025 — a wholesale saleroom price rather than a dealer retail figure. On the limited evidence available today, condition and completeness will drive what one of these sells for, and a wider sample is needed before a reliable value range can be quoted.

Sales History

Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Rows marked offer accepted did sell, on the date shown, but eBay does not publish the amount that was accepted. The figure we show is what the seller was asking, so the true sale price was lower — treat it as an upper bound. These rows are excluded from every price range, average and valuation on this site.
