Krügener Delta Klapp (Folding, Teddy, 1905)
The Krügener Delta Klapp is a German folding plate camera introduced in 1905, marketed under the Teddy designation by the Frankfurt-based maker Dr. Rudolf Krügener. It is an early-twentieth-century strut-folding plate camera aimed at the amateur market of its day.
Public auction evidence for this model is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £1,375 from 2004 is the only data point on record, and no recent sales are available to establish what one is worth in today's market. With only one historic auction-hammer figure to reference, any current price guidance is provisional, and condition, completeness of the original plate holders, and bellows integrity will heavily influence what an example sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Krügener Delta Klapp (Teddy, 1905) worth today?
The only recorded UK auction hammer price is £1,375 from 2004, so current value is uncertain; collectors should treat that figure as a historic reference rather than a guaranteed price.
How much does a Krügener Delta Klapp sell for at auction?
With just one verified hammer result on file at £1,375, there is not enough recent data to give a reliable current sale price.
Is the Krügener Delta Klapp a rare camera?
The thin public auction record suggests examples appear infrequently in UK salerooms, which is consistent with its status as an early German folding plate camera from 1905.
