Moy and Bastie 35
The Moy and Bastie 35 is a 35mm motion-picture camera. Detailed first-party specifications are not provided in the supplied data, so this page focuses on what the auction record shows rather than feature-level claims.
Public UK saleroom data for the Moy and Bastie 35 is thin: a single hammer result of £276 at Christie's in 1999 is the only record available, so any sense of what the camera is worth today rests on that lone wholesale auction price rather than a current range or median. Because that figure is a wholesale hammer result from more than two decades ago, it should be treated as a historical reference point rather than a guide to what the camera sells for in 2026.
