Nagel Librette 79
The Nagel Librette 79 is a folding roll-film camera produced by the German maker Dr. August Nagel Camerawerk. It dates from the early 1930s, before Nagel was absorbed into Kodak AG, and was sold as a compact bellows camera for amateur use.
Sales data for the Librette 79 is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £220 from 2007 is the only reference point available, and that figure reflects a wholesale saleroom price rather than a dealer asking price. Today there are too few recent results to establish a reliable price or working median, so any current value estimate for what a Librette 79 sells for should be treated as indicative only.
