Goldmann Taschen Klapp Kamera (Folding Pocket Camera)

The Goldmann Taschen Klapp Kamera (Folding Pocket Camera) is an early folding plate camera designed for portability. As a pocket-format folding camera, it represents the late 19th to early 20th century approach to making plate photography more practical for travel and field use.

Sales data for this Goldmann folding pocket camera is extremely limited, with a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £360 in 2009 — a wholesale saleroom figure rather than a retail asking price. With no other recent comparables, what one sells for today depends heavily on completeness, condition of the bellows and shutter, and the presence of original plate holders, and confirming current value would require fresh auction comparables.
