Zeiss Ikon Trona 210/1
The Zeiss Ikon Trona 210/1 is a folding plate and roll-film camera produced by Zeiss Ikon, the German manufacturer formed in 1926 from the merger of Contessa-Nettel, Ernemann, Goerz and Ica. It belongs to the early generation of Zeiss Ikon folders introduced in the late 1920s, sitting in the mid-tier of the company's folding-camera range when new.
Auction data for the Trona 210/1 is very thin: a single recorded UK saleroom hammer result sits at £100 (2005), so today's value guidance is indicative rather than firm. With only one verified sale, anyone asking what a Trona 210/1 is worth in 2026 should treat that figure as a baseline reference point rather than a reliable median, and expect condition, completeness of bellows and lens/shutter function to drive any actual price achieved.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Trona 210/1 worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record available, a Trona 210/1 has hammered at around £100, though with only one verified sale this should be treated as an indicative reference rather than a firm market value.
How much does a Zeiss Ikon Trona 210/1 sell for at auction?
The single recorded UK saleroom result is £100 hammer, excluding buyer's premium; clean, fully functional examples with intact bellows and a working shutter would be expected to attract more interest than rough ones.
What should I check before buying a Trona 210/1?
Inspect the bellows for pinholes, test all shutter speeds (especially the slow ones) and check the lens for haze or separation, as these faults most commonly affect the price a pre-war Zeiss Ikon folder will sell for.
