Krügener Engel A
The Krügener Engel A is an early German plate camera produced by the Frankfurt maker Krügener. As a wood-and-metal plate-format instrument from the late 19th / early 20th century, it sits in the collector segment rather than the user-photographer market.
Sales data for the Engel A is extremely thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result is £300 from 2005, which provides a single wholesale data point rather than a reliable price band. With no recent saleroom comparables, today's value for a Krügener Engel A is best treated as indicative, and what one sells for now will depend heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Krügener Engel A worth today?
The only sales record on file is a single £300 UK auction hammer price from 2005, so a precise current value cannot be given with confidence; condition and completeness will drive whatever price a fresh example achieves.
How much does a Krügener Engel A sell for at auction?
On the evidence available, an Engel A has sold for around £300 at hammer in the UK saleroom, excluding buyer's and seller's commission.
Is the Krügener Engel A a collector's camera?
Yes — as an early German plate camera from a historic Frankfurt maker, the Engel A is bought almost exclusively as a collectible rather than as a working camera.
