AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Up for auction: a classic, refined, and historically prized bellows camera for glass plates—the Kamera Werkstätten Patent Etui, produced in Germany by Kamera Werkstätten (KW) in Dresden during the 1920s.
The lot presents in good overall condition, with normal signs of use and preservation consistent with its age and pre-war history, and it is functioning.
Optics: The camera mounts the extraordinary and prestigious original Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 1:4.5 f=12cm. The lenses are in good preserved condition, free of surface scratches or traces of internal mold and fungi. Only a normal and widespread vintage patina due to time is evident, entirely physiological for a piece of this age.
Mechanical: The lot has been tested and is mechanically functioning. The high-quality central mechanical shutter Friedrich Deckel Compur responds correctly to manual controls.
Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The solid and robust metal frame retains its original matte black protective finish, showing the classic and normal superficial time marks and slight wear along the outer metallic profiles. The two-tone upper inner plaque with the KW monogram, the patent references "D.R.P." and the exact production inscription "Kamera Werkstätten Dresden-A. 21" are perfectly intact and clearly legible.
Tracked international shipping, fully insured and with professionally super-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
