Founded in 1880 by George Eastman, Kodak became one of America’s most notable companies, helping establish the market for camera film and then dominating the field. But it has suffered from a variety of problems over the last four decades and this week Kodak filed for bankruptcy protection.
We all know the name, and for many of us, it was a sad story indeed. But the reporting of this story made me wonder whether this will give rise to an increase in nostalgia driven demand for antique and classic cameras.
Until now, I have always felt that there is not a great deal of money to be made from cameras in the antiques and collectables markets. Maybe now, that will all change? I guess only time will tell. Nothing in life is certain.
If you have an interest in investing in cameras as an alternative investment, you could start by looking at McKeown's Guide to Antique and Classic Cameras.
