Wünsche Knox
The Wünsche Knox is an early plate camera produced by the German maker Emil Wünsche, founded in Saxony in the late 19th century. It belongs to the era of folding and box plate cameras that defined amateur and semi-professional photography around the turn of the 20th century.
Sales data for the Wünsche Knox is extremely thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result on file is £440 from May 2005, so any sense of what the camera is worth today rests on a single wholesale saleroom data point rather than a meaningful range. Buyers researching what a Knox sells for in the current 2026 market should treat that figure as indicative only and seek further comparable results before committing.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Wünsche Knox worth today?
On the limited evidence available, a single UK auction hammer result of £440 has been recorded, but with only one data point the true market value of a Wünsche Knox is difficult to state with confidence.
How much does a Wünsche Knox sell for at auction?
The one verified UK saleroom result on file achieved a £440 hammer price in 2005, before buyer's and seller's commissions; current prices may differ given the small sample size.
Why is pricing information for the Wünsche Knox so limited?
The Knox appears infrequently in tracked UK auctions, which keeps the public sales record thin and makes any single price more of a reference point than a reliable market value.
