Value of camera???

I just inherited my grandfather's mint condition 1920 No.2 Folding Autograph Brownie Camera - single lens with complete instruction book. Anybody have an idea of what it is worth? Thanks.

Joan, are you planning to sell it, or is it just so you can say, "this was my grandfather's camera, it's worth ______ on the open market nowadays"? Just curious. Anyway, your camera is worth one dollar more than someone else is willing to pay for it. In other words, if someone wanted to pay you $50 for it, but you didn't want to sell it for that, you'd say, "no, it's $51." That's the way the money goes.

So all this information still doesn't help you much, I'm sure. Here's some that may: go to ebay and enter the name of your camera in a search. Look at the hits and see what the sellers are asking and the buyers are paying. Good luck!
