Mentor Goltz & Breutmann Mentorett
The Mentorett is a German-made camera produced by Goltz & Breutmann of Dresden, the Mentor firm active in the early-to-mid twentieth century. It is a collector-oriented piece today, valued for its place within the Mentor range rather than for everyday use.
UK auction records for the Mentorett are thin, but the two hammer results on file — wholesale saleroom prices that exclude buyer's and seller's commission — span £260 to £500, with a midpoint of around £380. Because the data set is so small, what a Mentorett is worth in 2026 depends heavily on condition, completeness and buyer competition on the day; in today's market a clean, fully-working example sells for more than a cosmetically tired one.
