Can this be considered antique?

the first camera is a kodak 3a..though produced in the early 1900s..it's one of the first models of camera that is mass produced..hence, it wun worth much..last valuation of this model is $80-$100 ish since a 2A brownie costs slightly more than $50...
I sold a 3A before at $120 since i sold it to an impulse buyer...
the 5000E is also around the same price of the 3A...those mass produced cameras will not be feasible as collection since it will never appreciate in value..thats why those antique dealers never deal with cameras especially ones with a viewfinder...
It will definitely be valued more if kept in a dry cabinet...
I'm keeping a few cameras in my collection namely a Kine Exakta I and a couple of Voss Diax IIIb

okay the first one is def antique but the second one is not my school has a photography class and we use those cameras for developing in the dark rooms to add special effects to the pictures when they become developed such as sepia or faded more contrast etc.
