Contessa Contiskop Stereo
The Contessa Contiskop Stereo is an early stereo camera produced by the German maker Contessa, designed to expose paired images for stereoscopic viewing. It dates from the era before Contessa's merger into Zeiss Ikon in 1926, placing it among the firm's pre-war stereo offerings.
Public auction data for the Contiskop Stereo is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result from 2004 saw one example sell for £191 at hammer. With only one verified data point, today's worth is best treated as indicative rather than a reliable median, and condition, completeness of original fittings, and provenance would heavily influence what a comparable example sells for.
