Ernemann Bobette I
The Ernemann Bobette I is a small folding strut camera produced in Germany in the 1920s, before Ernemann was absorbed into Zeiss Ikon in 1926. It was built as a compact, pocketable rollfilm camera aimed at amateur users.
Sales data for the Bobette I is thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £94 was recorded in 2022, so a meaningful price range cannot be quoted today. Because that figure is a wholesale saleroom result rather than a retail asking price, dealer-shop values for a clean example will typically sit higher; condition of the bellows, shutter and any original case strongly affects what the camera sells for.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
