Hüttig Furror Detective camera
The Hüttig Furror Detective is an early 20th-century German detective camera, a category of plate camera designed to be inconspicuous in use. Hüttig was a Dresden-based manufacturer active before the consolidation that formed Ica in 1909.
Sales data for the Furror Detective is extremely thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result on file is £500 from June 2008, which reflects a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail asking price. With no recent comparables, what the camera is worth today in 2026 is difficult to fix, and current value will depend heavily on completeness and condition. Buyers researching what one sells for should treat the 2008 figure as a historical reference point only.
