Kunik Petie Vanity (leather, green)
The Kunik Petie Vanity is a subminiature novelty camera built into a small vanity case, with this example being the green leather variant. It belongs to the family of mid-20th-century compact cameras designed as decorative accessories rather than serious photographic tools.
With only a single recorded UK auction result, the Petie Vanity in green leather sold for £384 hammer at Christie's in 2005. Because that sale predates today's collector market by two decades, current value is difficult to pin down, and a fresh hammer price could land materially above or below that figure depending on cosmetic condition and completeness of the vanity case fittings.
