Wirgin Gewirette
The Wirgin Gewirette is a small-format film camera produced by the German manufacturer Wirgin in the early 20th century. It sits in the compact, entry-level segment of the pre-war German camera market.
Auction data for the Gewirette is extremely thin: a single UK auction-hammer result from 1998 recorded a price of £103, which gives only a historical reference point rather than a current market value. With no recent sales to draw on, what a Wirgin Gewirette is worth today depends heavily on condition and completeness, and any present-day price would need to be confirmed by fresh saleroom results.
