Zeiss Ikon Box Tengor
The Zeiss Ikon Box Tengor is a German-made box camera produced across several roll-film formats, including 6x9 on 120 film and smaller variants such as the 54/18 'Baby Box'. Introduced in the late 1920s and built in numerous revisions through the 1950s, it sat at the entry-level end of the Zeiss Ikon range as a simple fixed-focus snapshot camera.
Box Tengor values at UK auction are modest: the only recent hammer result on record sold for £12 in January 2026, reflecting wholesale saleroom pricing rather than dealer retail. Today, clean working examples and the scarcer Baby Box 54/18 variant tend to attract more interest than the common 6x9 bodies, but the data here is too thin to quote a reliable range or median.
