Braun Paxette IIM
The Braun Paxette IIM is a 35mm viewfinder camera produced in West Germany by Carl Braun of Nuremberg in the 1950s. It sits within the wider Paxette family, a line of compact rangefinder and viewfinder 35mm cameras aimed at the mid-market amateur user when new.
There is very limited UK auction evidence for the Paxette IIM today — the only recorded hammer result we have is £6 in 2024, which reflects wholesale saleroom level rather than retail. On that basis, the camera's value at auction is modest, and what a Paxette IIM sells for is likely to depend heavily on cosmetic condition, working shutter, and whether the original lens is clean and fungus-free.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
