Ernemann Unette (18x24)
The Ernemann Unette (18x24) is an early 20th-century German-made box-style miniature plate camera, produced by Ernemann of Dresden and recording images on small 18x24mm plates.
Sales evidence for the Unette is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from November 2006 sells for £500, which is the only data point currently available for assessing what one is worth today in 2026. With just one wholesale saleroom figure on file, treat that price as indicative rather than a reliable median, and expect actual value to vary widely with condition, completeness and originality.
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.
Based on 2 recorded sales — indicative only.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Ernemann Unette (18x24) worth?
Based on the only logged UK auction record, an Ernemann Unette (18x24) sold for £500 at hammer in 2006; with just one data point the realistic market value today is uncertain and condition-dependent.
How much does an Ernemann Unette sell for at auction?
The single available saleroom result shows a hammer price of £500, but a one-sale sample is not enough to establish a dependable price range.
Is the Ernemann Unette a rare camera?
It appears infrequently in UK auction records, with only one tracked sale in the dataset, suggesting limited turnover rather than a confirmed rarity tier.
