Berning Robot Royal II

The Berning Robot Royal II is a 35mm spring-wound viewfinder camera produced by Otto Berning & Co. of Schwelm, Germany, part of the Robot family of clockwork-driven cameras developed for rapid sequential shooting.

Auction data for the Robot Royal II is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £352 from 2002 is the only record we hold, so today's value should be treated as indicative rather than a market median. As with most Robot bodies, hammer prices at UK auction (wholesale levels, before commission) are highly condition-sensitive, and a working spring motor with clean optics is what the price tracks.
