Kodak Vest Pocket Series III

The Kodak Vest Pocket Series III is a folding roll-film camera introduced in the 1920s, designed to collapse into a slim form that fit inside a waistcoat pocket. It used 127 roll film and sat in Kodak's budget-to-mid amateur range when new, aimed at casual snapshot photography.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Vest Pocket Series III have ranged from roughly £50 to £110, with a median around £81 across the last few years. Today in 2026 the camera is worth modest money at saleroom level — condition of the bellows, leather covering and shutter is what decides whether an example sells for the lower or upper end of that range.
