Okam Box Camera (two finders)
The Okam Box Camera with two finders is a box-form rollfilm camera fitted with separate finders for horizontal and vertical framing. It is an early-twentieth-century snapshot camera, positioned as a simple point-and-shoot tool when new.
Sales data for this Okam is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £320 in November 2007 is the only record on file, so any sense of what the camera is worth today rests on that lone data point. Because the listing reflects a wholesale saleroom price rather than a retail asking figure, current value in 2026 should be treated as indicative only until further sales emerge.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Okam Box Camera (two finders) worth today?
The only recorded UK auction sale on file is £320 hammer in 2007, so a precise current value cannot be established from the data; further results would be needed to set a reliable price.
How much does an Okam Box Camera sell for at auction?
Based on the single available record, one example sold for £320 at UK auction, but with no comparable sales since, the figure should be treated as an isolated data point rather than a market range.
Is the Okam Box Camera rare?
Auction appearances are scarce — only one verified UK hammer result is on file — which suggests limited turnover, though scarcity alone does not guarantee a higher price without active bidder interest.
