Zeiss Ikon Kinamo 'Marine'
The Zeiss Ikon Kinamo "Marine" is a specialised variant of the Kinamo amateur cine camera, housed for use in marine or expedition conditions. As a niche cine camera from the early 20th-century Zeiss Ikon catalogue, it was aimed at users needing a compact movie camera that could operate outside studio settings.
Auction data for the Kinamo "Marine" is extremely limited: a single recorded UK saleroom result from 2018 saw one sell for £2,400 at the hammer. With only one verified sale on file, there is no meaningful range or median to quote, and today's value should be treated as indicative rather than established; condition, completeness of any housing, and provenance would heavily influence what a similar example is worth now.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Kinamo "Marine" worth today?
On the only UK auction record available, one sold for £2,400 at hammer in 2018; with no further sales to compare, that figure is the best single reference point but should not be taken as a firm market price.
How much does a Kinamo "Marine" sell for at auction?
The single documented hammer price is £2,400, and the rarity of the model means individual results can vary widely depending on condition and completeness.
Why is the price data so limited?
The Kinamo "Marine" is an uncommon variant that rarely appears at public auction, so there is not enough sales history to establish a reliable range or median value.
