Ihagee Photoknips No.1
The Ihagee Photoknips No.1 is an early plate camera produced by the Dresden manufacturer Ihagee, dating from the company's pre-war German period. It is a collector-oriented item rather than a user camera, and its value today is driven almost entirely by rarity and condition.
With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result, the Photoknips No.1 sells for around £650 at saleroom level — a wholesale figure achieved before buyer's premium. Because the dataset is so thin, today's worth for any individual example will swing heavily on completeness, cosmetic condition, and the presence of original accessories, and a wider price range cannot be inferred reliably.
