Wirgin Folding
The Wirgin Folding is a folding roll-film camera produced by the German maker Wirgin, a Wiesbaden-based firm active in the mid-20th century. Cameras of this type were positioned as compact, affordable picture-takers using bellows and a collapsible front standard.
Sales data is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result from December 2021 saw a Wirgin Folding sell for £37, so the only documented price point today sits at the low end of the vintage folder market. With just one wholesale saleroom datum, any wider value range for what this camera is worth or sells for cannot be reliably stated, and condition of bellows, shutter and lens will move the price significantly either way.
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.
