Hüttig Detective Camera
The Hüttig Detective Camera is a German-made detective-style plate camera, a category of disguised or box-form cameras produced in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Hüttig was a Dresden-based maker active before its absorption into Ica AG in 1909, which places this model among the earlier collectible items in the German camera market.
Auction data for this model is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £4,275 was recorded in 2002, and no recent comparables are available to establish a reliable 2026 value. As of today, any current worth or price assessment for what a Hüttig Detective Camera sells for would need to draw on broader early-German-camera collector demand rather than this lone data point.
