Antique Photo Booth Value

HeidiBoo

Hi All,

I posted the above about the great old photo booth I have. I am still stumped about the age and value of this cool old booth. I have only been able to find booths that date from the 50's but none that are as old as the one I have. Below is a link to pictures of this grand old Photo Booth.

Thanks tons,

I don't see any baths or trays that would hold the necessary chemicals for a working booth to be functional. On ebay booths from the 1950's that work go for $1000 to $2000 typically. I'd guess if you could get a few hundred for a broken booth like yours you'd be lucky?

Good Luck, Rolland

Thanks for the input. I recently spoke with Christies & the Smithsonian & to my surprise this photo booth from the 30's is very rare and according to them would have a auction start price at 75,000.00 WOW.. Both agreed that they have not seen one of this age & condition.

Hi, I have an Amazing Photo Booth from the early 30's! It is in wonderful condition and I would venture to guess that with a good tune up it is a working Booth. It is a gorgeous wood structure with all original parts and signs. Documents in the booth show that it was used at fairs in the late 30's early 40's on the East Coast. I have been going crazy trying to find a value for such a great old original booth. If anyone has any ideas how I can find more info and a value I would be very appreciative.
