Prestwich Manufacturing Patent Kine camera (model 5)

The Prestwich Manufacturing Patent Kine camera (model 5) is an early cine camera, part of the cluster of British-made motion picture equipment produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a collector's item rather than a working consumer camera, and surfaces only rarely on the open market.

With just a single recorded UK auction result in our database — a hammer price of £7,292 in May 2004 — there is no meaningful range or median to quote, and today's value is essentially whatever a specialist collector will bid on the day. Saleroom outcomes for early cine apparatus of this kind are highly condition- and provenance-sensitive, and the price a Patent Kine model 5 sells for can swing widely depending on completeness and documentation.
