What it is
{"overview":"The Kunik Petie (handbag) is a subminiature camera concealed within a woman's handbag, a novelty subminiature format produced in the mid-20th century. Its positioning was as a disguised camera novelty rather than a general-purpose photographic tool, sold to collectors of unusual subminiature equipment.","market_narrative":"Kunik Petie (handbag) examples appear at UK auction only rarely, so a current market price in 2026 is hard to pin down with precision.
