Contessa Duchessa Stereo

{"overview":"The Contessa Duchessa Stereo is a small-format stereo camera produced by Contessa-Nettel in Stuttgart in the early twentieth century, before the firm's 1926 merger into Zeiss Ikon. Today the model trades thinly, so what a Duchessa Stereo is worth at saleroom level depends heavily on completeness and cosmetic condition, and a clean, fully-functional example will sell for noticeably more than one with worn bellows or missing parts.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes, check that both shutters fire and stay synchronised, and confirm the matched lens pair is clear and free of separation. Plate holders and the original case are often missing and add value when present.
