Goerz Westentaschen Tenax Tropen (Vest Pocket Camera)

{"overview":"The Goerz Westentaschen Tenax, often called the Vest Pocket Tenax, is an early 20th-century German strut-folding plate camera built to slip into a waistcoat pocket. As of 2026 it remains a thin market with infrequent appearances, so what one sells for at saleroom level depends heavily on cosmetic condition, completeness of the original shutter and lens, and the integrity of the leather and metalwork — buyers should treat any single result as indicative rather than a firm guide to value.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows and any leather covering for cracking and light leaks, check that the strut mechanism opens and locks cleanly without play, and confirm the shutter fires across its speed range.
