Zeiss Ikon Nixe 551/6
The Zeiss Ikon Nixe 551/6 is a folding plate and rollfilm camera from the early Zeiss Ikon era, produced in Germany following the 1926 merger that formed the company. It was a medium-format folding model aimed at amateur photographers of the period.
Sales data for the Nixe 551/6 is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2004 sold for £115, which gives only a historical reference point rather than a reliable current value. With no recent comparables, what a Nixe 551/6 is worth today depends heavily on completeness, bellows condition and shutter function, and any current price guidance should be treated as indicative only until further saleroom results emerge.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Nixe 551/6 worth?
Based on the very limited UK auction record available, a Nixe 551/6 hammered at £115 in 2004; with no recent sales to confirm a current price, that figure is the only documented data point.
How much does a Zeiss Ikon Nixe 551/6 sell for at auction?
Only one verified UK saleroom result exists in our data, at £115 hammer, so any quoted value or price range should be treated as provisional until more recent sales are recorded.
Is the Nixe 551/6 a common camera?
It appears infrequently in UK auction listings, which is why establishing a reliable market value is difficult and individual condition tends to drive what each example sells for.
