Contessa Citoskop Stereo

{"overview":"The Contessa Citoskop Stereo is a stereo camera produced by the German maker Contessa (later absorbed into Zeiss Ikon) in the early 20th century. Today values are highly condition-sensitive: a complete example with working shutter and clean optics sells for noticeably more than a shelf-worn body, and the wholesale saleroom level quoted here sits below what a restored example is worth through a specialist dealer.","buying_guide":"Inspect the twin shutters for matched speeds and sticking blades, check both lenses for haze, separation and cleaning marks, and confirm the plate or film back is complete and light-tight. Bellows, if fitted, should be checked against a bright light for pinholes.
