Kodak Cine-Kodak Special
The Cine-Kodak Special is a 16mm cine camera produced by Kodak. It was aimed at advanced amateur and semi-professional cine users when introduced.
Auction data for the Cine-Kodak Special is thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result of £179 hammer (2004) provides the only price reference, so what one is worth today should be treated as indicative rather than a settled market value. Buyers asking how much a Cine-Kodak Special sells for should expect condition, completeness of accessories and working shutter mechanisms to drive price more than headline figures.
