Goerz Roll-Tenax Luxus blue-green
The Goerz Roll-Tenax Luxus in blue-green is a roll-film folding camera produced by the German optical maker C. P. Goerz, dating from the early decades of the twentieth century. The Luxus designation marks it as a deluxe presentation variant, finished in coloured covering rather than the standard black leatherette.
Sales data for this specific colour variant is extremely thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result on file is £750 from December 2010, with no more recent comparables to confirm what one is worth today. On that single data point the model sits well above the price of standard Roll-Tenax folders, but a buyer looking at one in 2026 should treat that figure as indicative only and expect wide variation depending on condition and covering quality.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Goerz Roll-Tenax Luxus blue-green worth?
The only verified UK auction hammer result in our records is £750 from 2010, so the value of a clean example today is best estimated against that single sale rather than a true market range.
How much does a Roll-Tenax Luxus sell for compared with a standard Roll-Tenax?
Coloured Luxus variants typically command a substantial premium over plain black Roll-Tenax folders because of their rarity and decorative finish, though with only one recorded sale the exact multiple for the blue-green version cannot be pinned down.
Why is the price confidence so low for this camera?
Only a single auction sale is on file, and it is more than a decade old, so any quoted price or value should be treated as a rough reference point rather than a reliable current market figure.
