Kodak Panoram No1

A chap on the local market has one of these for sale.

I found it quite interesting, and a sensible solution to the panorama problem. Takes 120 film, so can still be used today.

It is in Brown leather, looks in ok nick, the lens swing in both directions. The chap has an idea it is worth a bit, because he showed me a reference book which has it listed at £250-£300. Any idea if that is correct, EBay suggests so, but unsure.

I was just curious if anyone has used one, what it is actually worth (ebay items have no bids) and if they are any good. Not that I have the funds to buy, but if someone was interested more than happy to PM where it was.

Its a very old and rare camera, its not surprising there isn't a queue to reply.
No idea what its worth, it looks to be in the collect but not use area of photographic interest, so I dunno....

The trouble with such cameras are that you really need to reach out to a niche audience - worldwide- to get the true value. E bay is not a bad option; though specialised auction houses are better.
