Wünsche Victrix
The Wünsche Victrix is an early plate camera produced in Germany by Emil Wünsche of Reick, near Dresden, a maker active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries before the firm was absorbed into ICA in 1909. It was a folding plate camera aimed at the amateur market of its era, and survives today as a collector item rather than a working tool.
Sales data for the Victrix is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2003 sells for £157, which is the only verifiable price point we have. With just one data set, today's value for a Wünsche Victrix is best treated as indicative rather than a settled market price, and condition, completeness of the original plate holders, and bellows integrity would all swing the worth materially at saleroom level.
