Up for sale is a beautiful vintage Contessa Nettel “Piccolette” folding camera. This is an early antique German camera with an incredible industrial look and a lot of character. The folding bellows open and close nicely, and the camera displays very well as a collectible, shelf piece, prop, or restoration candidate. The original black finish shows honest wear from age and use including scratches, paint loss, and scuffs throughout, which honestly adds to the vintage charm and history of the piece. The bellows appear intact from a visual inspection, but this camera has NOT been film tested or fully evaluated mechanically. I obviously cannot verify that story, so please treat it as family history/word of mouth only, but it definitely adds an interesting layer to the camera’s story. Please review all photos carefully for condition details. You will receive exactly what is pictured. Vintage Contessa Nettel Piccolette folding camera. Original lens and hardware. Great display or collector piece. Movie or studio props.
