The 22nd WestLicht Camera Auction will take place on Saturday, November 24, 2012, 11am. Preview will start on Wednesday, November 21, daily 10 am – 6 pm. Here are the details:
After the sensational world record auction this past May – a Leica 0-Series achieved a price of 2,160,000 EUR – the amazing offers of the 22nd WestLicht Camera Auction, featuring many important pieces and special rarities, promise new record results. A selection of about 650 cameras, lenses and accessories, all of the highest quality, will be sold during the 22nd Auction on November 24, 2012.
About 70% of the lots are made by Leitz/Leica. There has never been a comparable selection before. Starting with a Leica I with Anastigmat Lenses, the first Leica serially produced in 1925 (estimated price 70,000 – 90,000 Euro) to the famous “Luxus” Leica from 1929, one of the very few extant original gold-plated cameras (estimated price 120,000 – 140,000 Euro) to the first Leica of the famous photographer Robert Capa (estimated price 15,000 – 18,000 Euro), the auction also features incredibly rare Leica M cameras.
