Ica Universal Palmos (275)
The Ica Universal Palmos (275) is an early 20th-century German folding plate camera produced by Ica AG of Dresden, a firm formed in 1909 from the merger of several Saxon optical makers and later absorbed into Zeiss Ikon in 1926. It was positioned as a hand-and-stand plate camera for serious amateur photographers of its era.
Auction data for the Universal Palmos (275) is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result from June 2024 sold for £44. With only one verified data point at auction-hammer level (excluding buyer's premium), it is not possible to give a reliable price band for what this camera is worth today, and value in 2026 will depend heavily on completeness, shutter function and cosmetic condition.
