Wünsche Postage stamp camera
The Wünsche Postage stamp camera is a German-made novelty plate camera designed to take very small, stamp-sized exposures. Wünsche was a Dresden camera maker active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and stamp or multi-image cameras of this type were a niche specialty within that era's photographic output.
Sales evidence for this model is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £1,600 from 2012 is the only data point available, so it is not possible to quote a meaningful current price range or median for what one is worth today. With only one historical saleroom result on file, any present-day value would depend heavily on completeness, condition and collector interest at the time it sells.
