Ernemann Bobette II
The Ernemann Bobette II is a small folding strut camera produced by the Dresden maker Ernemann in the 1920s. It was a compact roll-film model aimed at amateur photographers seeking a pocketable camera.
With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result to go on, market evidence for the Bobette II is thin: one example fetched £553 at a Leitz-related sale in 2003. As of today in 2026, anyone trying to work out what a Bobette II is worth should treat that lone data point as indicative rather than a reliable guide to current value, since price will depend heavily on condition, lens fitted, and completeness.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Ernemann Bobette II worth today?
Auction evidence is limited to a single UK hammer result of £553 from 2003, so a precise current value cannot be stated with confidence and will vary with condition and configuration.
How much does an Ernemann Bobette II sell for at auction?
The only recorded sale in our data is £553 at UK auction, achieved as a hammer price before commission; further results would be needed before quoting a reliable typical price.
Is the Bobette II a rare camera?
It appears infrequently in UK saleroom records, which is why pricing data is sparse and each sale tends to be judged on its individual merits.
