Q: Can you tell me the value of a small folding camera I have? It is called the Kodak Junior and is black, with a pull-out lens. It is in lovely condition.

Mr E

A: This camera dates from the late 1920s or early 1930s and was a very popular model which sold in vast numbers. Examples are very common and thus value is modest, normally about £25. Camera collectors prefer rarer models which were normally much more expensive when new, and thus were sold in far fewer numbers. Kodak produced the Junior for the mass-market at a time when photography was becoming a very popular pastime, and the camera was a best-seller in its day, so many examples have survived.
