ICA, Ernemann Folding Mini 4.5x6 / 6x9 Analogue camera

In auction: a fascinating and elegant vintage lot consisting of 2 pocket-sized folding medium-format cameras, produced in Dresden, Germany, during the 1920s. The lot is presented in good overall condition, with normal signs of use and storage fully consistent with the objects' over-century age. Optics: Both cameras mount their respective original fixed lenses. As indicated, the lenses are in good vintage condition, free of scratches or traces of mold and internal fungi, and they exhibit the classic vintage patina. Mechanics: The lot has been tested and is mechanically functional in manual operation. The pre-war shutters respond to the pressure of their respective shutter levers. Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The metal casings retain their original dark leather coverings and the original black or chrome-plated finishes, showing the classic signs of age, light surface dulling, and a historic patina accumulated over their nearly one hundred years of life. The folding bellows in dark material remain well-structured and geometrically compact. Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
