Tokiwa Seiki Co. Pentaflex
The Tokiwa Seiki Pentaflex is a Japanese-made camera produced by Tokiwa Seiki Co. With only sparse public reference data and a single recorded sale, it sits firmly in the collector-curio category rather than the mainstream user market.
UK auction evidence for the Pentaflex is extremely thin: a single recorded hammer result of £881 at Christie's in 2002 is the only data point available, so any sense of what the camera is worth today rests on that lone wholesale figure rather than a current trend. With no recent saleroom activity to anchor a range, the price a Pentaflex sells for in 2026 will depend heavily on condition, completeness and whether two collectors happen to bid against each other on the day.
