Value of this I-A Kodak camera?
« on: June 23, 2015, 06:36:59 pm »
I got a I-A Autographic Kodak camera that has a Kodak Ball Bearing Shutter and was wondering how much it was (its not missing any parts)?

I bought it at a yard sale and they were originally asking $110. I got the camera and got a couple of other items all for $80. So I'm really curious on how much this camera actually goes for and if I got taken.

And it's NOT a Junior.

I attached a picture of the camera I got. I've been doing research and all I can find is about the junior version.

Thanks for some of the information. I found one on eBay that looks exactly like the camera I got.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vintage-No-1-A-Kodak-Autographic-Camera-AS-IS-Steam-Punk-/291498665824?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43deaca760

I attached another picture of the plate and lens in case that helps anyone.

How much would one sell this for?

I by no means an authority in this subject, but in my travels of buying and selling the real value usually comes in based upon it still being functional or just ornamental...

Either take it to a local professional photographer who may be able to tell you if it works or not, or just list it on eBay... The market will decide the value... That is if you're willing to sell it...

Ditto what Gallogrotte said!

There are many people out there that like to buy just for display purposes even if it doesn't function!
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!
