No idea about the price (although i did see one in a charity shop the other day) but i think you may struggle to get 126 film developed these days

If you do buy one, you'll have something that my Dad designed, well the important bits inside anyway.

He designed the Instamatic 25 (highest selling camera ever with 7 million units sold worldwide), his boss got the OBE, my dad got a thankyou, and the knowledge that he had helped Kodak out of some lean times.

Then followed the 33, 133 & 230 that my dad also designed the internals of. And after that the 110 range which were difficult to take stable images with.

He ended up as Chief Designer for Kodak, and has a few of these cameras in some boxes in storage.

Doubt it, there are probably still quite a few around at the back of peoples drawers etc.
I wouldn't expect he would sell them and I hope that either myself or my brother will be able to keep them one day, hopefully a long time away.
