Secam Stylophot

The Secam Stylophot is a subminiature stick-style camera designed to resemble a fountain pen, using roll film to produce small negatives. It was marketed in the 1950s as a novelty compact for casual and candid use.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Stylophot have sat around £88, with two 2020s sales clustered at that figure against an older 2005 Christie's result of £420 that reflects a stronger collector market at the time. Today the realistic worth for a typical example at saleroom level is a low-to-mid two-figure sum, though exceptional cased or boxed examples have historically sold for several hundred pounds.
