Meyer-Optik Görlitz Globica II
The Meyer-Optik Görlitz Globica II is a camera produced by the German optical maker Meyer-Optik Görlitz. It is an uncommon model that surfaces only occasionally in the collector market.
At recent UK auction, Globica II examples have realised hammer prices of £1,600 and £2,000 — wholesale saleroom results rather than retail dealer asking prices. With only two recorded sales the sample is thin, so today's value sits in the £1,600–£2,000 band, and what a given example sells for depends heavily on condition and completeness.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
