Krauss (G.A.) Peggy I (black)

The Peggy I is an early 35mm camera produced by the German maker G.A. Krauss. It was introduced in the 1930s as a compact strut-folding rollfilm-era design adapted for 35mm cine film, and the black-finished version is the variant covered here.

Auction data for the black Peggy I is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom hammer result from 2002 sits at £399, so any current 2026 valuation has to be treated as indicative rather than a true market price. Because that figure represents wholesale auction-hammer level rather than a dealer asking price, retail examples today typically sell for more, and condition and completeness will swing what a Peggy I is worth considerably.
