Wollensakopticalco. Sixteen Model 93
The Wollensak Sixteen Model 93 is a sub-miniature camera that uses 16mm film, produced by the Wollensak Optical Company of Rochester, New York. It sits in the post-war small-format category aimed at compact, casual photography rather than professional use.
Sales data is extremely thin for this model: a single UK auction hammer result of £75 was recorded in November 2023, so as of today there is no meaningful range or median to quote. Buyers asking what a Wollensak Sixteen Model 93 is worth should treat that figure as an isolated saleroom data point rather than an established market price, and condition and completeness are likely to swing what it sells for at auction.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

How much does a Wollensak Sixteen Model 93 sell for at auction?
The only recorded UK auction result in our data is £75, so the price a given example sells for will depend heavily on condition, completeness and buyer interest on the day.
Can you still use a Wollensak Sixteen Model 93?
It is a 16mm sub-miniature camera, and using one today requires sourcing 16mm film and compatible spools, which are not readily available through mainstream retailers.
