Ica Bébé

{"overview":"The Ica Bébé is an early 20th-century German strut-folding plate camera made by Ica AG of Dresden, a firm formed in 1909 that was later absorbed into Zeiss Ikon in 1926. Because these are wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail, what an Ica Bébé is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter function and completeness of the original leather case; clean, working examples tend to price at the upper end of that band.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes along the folds, check that the strut mechanism opens and locks squarely, and test the leaf shutter at all marked speeds since slow speeds commonly stick on cameras of this age.
