Question
I am in possession of a photoret miniature camera from 1893/4 What would this be worth.

Thanks in advance Cathy

Answer
Cathy,

I found prices on the net that hovered around $1000 USD.  I don't know how reliable that is.  I'd never heard of the camera untill I got your question.  You could buy a price guide for old cameras.  You might find it in there.  McKeown's Price Guide to Antique & Classic Cameras is the one I used to have.  Oh, all the prices I saw stipulated that you have the box.  I'm not sure how much it would impact the price if you don't have it.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.

Experience

I'm an "expert" under photography. I've many years experience in photo retail.John and Chris
