Zeiss Ikon Cocarette
The Zeiss Ikon Cocarette is a folding roll-film camera from the early-to-mid 20th century, sold under the Zeiss Ikon brand formed in 1926. It was positioned as a mid-tier folding camera for amateur photographers shooting roll film.
UK auction evidence for the Cocarette is very thin: a single recorded hammer result at saleroom level reached £12 in January 2021, which gives only a rough indication of what the model sells for today rather than a reliable market value. With one data point, any current price estimate carries significant uncertainty, and condition, completeness of the leather bellows, and the specific lens fitted will materially affect what an example is worth.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Cocarette worth?
Auction data is extremely limited, with one UK hammer result of £12 on file, so a precise value cannot be given without more comparable sales.
How much does a Zeiss Ikon Cocarette sell for at auction?
The only recorded UK auction price in our data is £12 in 2021; clean, fully working examples with a good lens may achieve more, but this is not supported by multiple sales.
Is the Cocarette a collectable Zeiss Ikon camera?
It is a recognised pre-war Zeiss Ikon folding model, but on the limited evidence available it trades at the lower end of the Zeiss Ikon folding-camera market.
