Zeiss Ikon Bobette II (548)

The Zeiss Ikon Bobette II (548) is a pre-war German strut-folding camera using roll film, introduced in the late 1920s. It was positioned as a compact pocket camera within the early Zeiss Ikon range assembled after the 1926 merger that formed the company.

At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the Bobette II (548) have ranged from around £190 to £650, with only a small number of recorded results to draw on. Because sales are infrequent, what a Bobette II is worth in today's market depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter function, and whether the original leather case and lens are intact — clean, working examples sit at the upper end of that range at saleroom level.
