Rochester Camera Mfg. Co. Cyko Reko
The Cyko Reko is an early plate camera produced by the Rochester Camera Manufacturing Co., a US maker active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a folding plate camera of that era, it was positioned as a general-purpose photographic tool before the dominance of roll-film formats.
Sales data for the Cyko Reko is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result on record sold for £160 in 2009. With only one data point at saleroom level, today's value is difficult to pin down, and any current price would depend heavily on condition, completeness of the original lens and shutter, and collector interest at the time of sale.
