Nettel Kamerawerk Tropical Deckrullo Nettel

The Tropical Deckrullo Nettel is a folding plate camera produced by Nettel Kamerawerk in the early 20th century. The tropical designation refers to the teak body construction with light-coloured leather bellows, intended for use in hot and humid climates, while the Deckrullo line is characterised by a focal-plane shutter built into the body.

Sales history for this model is extremely thin, with a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £500 from November 2019 — a wholesale, saleroom-level figure rather than a retail price. With only one data point, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a firm market price, and condition of the teak, bellows and shutter curtain will heavily influence what a Tropical Deckrullo Nettel sells for in 2026.
