Ernemann Miniature Klapp

The Ernemann Miniature Klapp is a small-format folding plate camera from the German manufacturer Ernemann of Dresden, dating from the early twentieth century. The word 'Klapp' is German for 'folding', and this model was positioned as a compact, pocketable option within Ernemann's folding range.

At recent UK auction, hammer results for the Miniature Klapp have ranged from roughly £140 to £400, with a median value around £200 based on a small sample of sales. As of today these are wholesale saleroom prices rather than dealer retail, and condition is the dominant variable — bellows integrity, working shutter and clean glass push an example toward the upper end, while rougher bodies sell for less.
