Kodak Vanity Kodak Camera
The Vanity Kodak is an early Kodak roll-film camera marketed as a decorative consumer product rather than a working photographer's tool. Surviving examples are typically encountered as collector pieces rather than user cameras.
Documented UK auction activity for the Vanity Kodak is thin: the only hammer result on file is £240 from May 2005, a wholesale saleroom price excluding commission. With just one data point, today's value depends heavily on colour, completeness of the case and original accessories, and condition, so what a Vanity Kodak sells for at auction in 2026 can vary widely from that historical figure.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Vanity Kodak Camera worth today?
Auction evidence is limited to a single UK hammer result of £240 from 2005, so any current price estimate carries significant uncertainty and will hinge on cosmetic condition and completeness.
How much does a Vanity Kodak sell for at auction?
The one recorded UK auction sale achieved £240 at the hammer, before buyer's premium; comparable examples in similar condition would be the best guide to current value.
What drives the price and value of a Vanity Kodak?
Colour, the integrity of the decorative covering, and the presence of the original case or pouch are the main factors, since the camera is collected primarily for its appearance.
