This question just crossed what's left of my mind ... Has anyone ever seen any info on what folders from the 1950s sold for when new?
I am particularly interested in the Voigtländer Perkeo II with Color Skopar (and the Ercona II with CZJ Tessar, but data from behind the Iron Curtain is probably rare and not meaningful). I assume that cameras with four or five element lenses were premium products targeted at "advanced amateurs" and beyond but I don't have much sense of what retail prices they might have carried.
I've tried some Googling, but wind up with current used pricing if I find any pricing at all.
