Stöckig Union 27 (two shutters)
The Stöckig Union 27 is a German-made plate camera dating from the early twentieth century. The "two shutters" designation refers to a configuration carrying two separate shutter mechanisms on the same body.
Sales data for the Union 27 is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £300 in late 2023, which excludes buyer's premium and represents a wholesale saleroom level rather than a dealer price. With only one data point, today's value for a comparable example is best treated as a rough guide near that £300 figure, and condition, completeness of the shutters, and bellows integrity will swing what one actually sells for in either direction.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Stöckig Union 27 (two shutters) worth today?
Based on the single recorded UK auction hammer result, a Union 27 in the two-shutter configuration sells for around £300, though with only one data point the realistic price range is uncertain and condition-dependent.
How much does a Stöckig Union 27 sell for at auction?
The one verified UK auction sale on record achieved a £300 hammer price in November 2023, excluding buyer's premium.
Why does the two-shutter version matter for value?
The dual-shutter configuration is a less common variant, and collectors evaluating the price will look closely at whether both shutters are present and functional, since a missing or seized shutter materially reduces what the camera is worth.
