Ernemann Mignon-Kamera
The Ernemann Mignon-Kamera is an early 20th-century plate camera produced by the German manufacturer Ernemann of Dresden, sold before the company's 1926 absorption into Zeiss Ikon. It was offered as a small-format wooden-bodied camera aimed at the amateur market of its era.
Sales data for the Mignon-Kamera is extremely thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result on file is a single sale at £300 in December 2010, which gives a reference point but not a reliable current value as of 2026. Because hammer prices for early Ernemann cameras are highly condition- and completeness-sensitive, what a Mignon-Kamera is worth today at saleroom level can vary considerably from that figure depending on the example offered.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Ernemann Mignon-Kamera worth today?
Auction evidence is very limited; the only recorded UK hammer price on file is £300, so any current value should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market price.
How much does an Ernemann Mignon-Kamera sell for at auction?
Based on the single recorded sale, a Mignon-Kamera sells for around £300 hammer at UK auction, though condition, completeness and the presence of original accessories will move the price up or down.
Is the Ernemann Mignon-Kamera a collectible camera?
Ernemann cameras are collected as pre-Zeiss Ikon German plate cameras, and the Mignon-Kamera falls within that collecting area, but with only one recorded auction price its market is too thin to generalise about demand.
