Ruberg & Renner Ruberg Futuro (black)
The Ruberg Futuro is a compact viewfinder camera made by the German maker Ruberg & Renner, dating from the pre-war era of small-format folding and bakelite-bodied cameras. The black-finished Futuro was a budget-class snapshot camera aimed at amateur users when new.
At UK auction in the current 2026 market, the black Ruberg Futuro sits at the very bottom of the collector spectrum, with the only recorded hammer result being £12 in October 2025 — a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail price. With so little trading activity, the value of this camera today is essentially nominal, and what it sells for depends almost entirely on cosmetic condition and whether the shutter still fires.
