What it is

{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Deckrullo Nettel Tropen (Tropical) is a folding plate camera built with teak and brown leather for use in hot, humid climates. With one wholesale data point more than two decades old, what a Deckrullo Nettel Tropen is worth now depends heavily on condition, completeness of the original lens and plate holders, and whether the teak and leather have survived without warping or shrinkage.","buying_guide":"Inspect the wooden body for cracks, the leather bellows for pinholes, and the focal-plane shutter cloth for tears or sticking at slow speeds, as these are the most common failure points on tropical-bodied cameras of this age. Brassware should be checked for corrosion, and the original ground glass and plate holders add value when present.

Questions

Why is the Tropical version collectable?

The teak body and brown leather covering were made for use in hot, humid climates and survive in far smaller numbers than the standard black-leather Deckrullo Nettel, which supports its collector value.
