Ensign Comando

The Ensign Comando is a British-made folding camera produced by Ensign (Houghton-Butcher / Barnet Ensign). It is a mid-20th-century roll-film folder positioned for amateur use when new.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Ensign Comando are modest: a single recent saleroom result in November 2025 sold for £90, which gives a working reference for what one is worth today rather than a true median. Because only one wholesale auction-hammer data point is available, the value range cannot be reliably bracketed, and condition, completeness of the original case and working rangefinder will materially affect what an example sells for.
