Ernemann Bob V

The Ernemann Bob V is a folding plate camera made by the German manufacturer Ernemann in the early 20th century. It was sold as an entry-level folding camera within Ernemann's wider Bob series.

Sales data for the Bob V is very thin. The single recorded UK auction hammer result is £180 from 2005, so any current value or price guidance for what one sells for today in 2026 should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable market median.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Ernemann Bob V worth today?

Based on the limited data available, the only recorded UK auction hammer price is £180, so condition and completeness will largely determine what an example sells for.

How much does an Ernemann Bob V sell for at auction?

With just one verified UK auction sale on file at £180, there is not enough data to quote a reliable price range or median value.

Is the Ernemann Bob V a collectible camera?

It is collected as part of Ernemann's pre-Zeiss Ikon folding camera output, but thin sales data means market value is hard to pin down.
