Contessa Westca
The Contessa Westca is a film camera produced by the German maker Contessa, predating the firm's 1926 merger into Zeiss Ikon.
Sales data for the Westca is extremely limited: a single UK auction hammer record at Christie's in 1998 shows the camera selling for £103, which remains the only verified price point on file as of today. With just one historical data point, it is not possible to give a meaningful current value or range for what a Contessa Westca is worth or sells for in 2026; collectors should treat any single result as indicative only.
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. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Contessa Westca worth today?
Verified UK auction data is limited to a single 1998 hammer result of £103, so a reliable current value cannot be quoted; condition and completeness will drive any modern price.
How much does a Contessa Westca sell for at auction?
The only recorded saleroom result on file is £103 at Christie's in 1998, a hammer price that excludes buyer's and seller's commission.
Is the Contessa Westca a rare camera?
It appears infrequently in UK auction records, with only one verified sale in our dataset, suggesting limited market turnover rather than confirmed rarity.
