Carl Zeiss Jena Stereo Palmos
The Stereo Palmos is an early 20th-century stereo plate camera produced under the Carl Zeiss Jena name. As a stereo-format camera, it exposed paired images on glass plates for viewing as three-dimensional pairs.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Stereo Palmos sit in a narrow band, with recorded results of £110 and £160 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than retail asking prices. With only a handful of data points, what a Stereo Palmos is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, completeness of the plate holders, and shutter function.
