Voigtlander& Sohn Bijou Voigtlander

{"overview":"The Bijou is a small-format plate camera made by Voigtländer & Sohn, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century era of compact folding and strut-type plate cameras. On that limited evidence the model sells for a four-figure sum when it surfaces, but today's price for any given example will hinge heavily on completeness, condition, and bidder competition rather than a stable published value.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes and the wooden body for shrinkage cracks, and check that the shutter fires at all marked speeds, since service support for cameras of this age is effectively limited to specialist independent restorers.
