Gaumont Miniature

The Gaumont Miniature is a small-format camera from the early French maker Gaumont, a Paris firm active in still and cine equipment from the late 19th century. As a miniature-format body it sits in the collector category rather than the user-camera market, and surviving examples surface only occasionally.

Sales data is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £1,600 in 2015 is the only reference point available, so any sense of what a Gaumont Miniature is worth today rests on that one wholesale saleroom figure rather than a true range or median. Condition, completeness of original fittings, and provenance are the dominant value drivers at this level, and a clean, complete example would be expected to sell for substantially more than a tired or incomplete one when it next comes to auction.
