Kodak Signet 35 Signal Corps (KE-7)
The Kodak Signet 35 Signal Corps (KE-7) is a 35mm rangefinder camera, a militarised variant of Kodak's civilian Signet 35 series produced in the United States during the 1950s. It was supplied to the US Army Signal Corps under the KE-7 designation rather than sold through normal retail channels, which makes surviving examples scarcer than the standard Signet 35.
Auction data for this model is thin: the single UK hammer result on file sold for £108 in 2018, so a reliable price band cannot be quoted today. Because these are UK saleroom hammer figures (wholesale, excluding commission), private-sale and dealer asking prices for a clean KE-7 tend to sit above this level, and condition and completeness of military markings strongly affect what an example is worth.
