Minox LX Aviator Set
The Minox LX Aviator Set is a presentation package built around the Minox LX subminiature camera, which uses 8x11mm film. Minox subminiatures of this type were sold as discreet pocket cameras, and aviation-themed sets were issued as collector-oriented bundles.
Sales evidence for the LX Aviator Set is thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £375 in 2023 is the only data point available, so as of today the set is best described as a collector item with limited liquidity rather than a freely traded model. Because that figure represents a wholesale saleroom price excluding commission, what the set is worth at retail and what it sells for between collectors can vary, and condition and completeness of the boxed contents materially affect value.
