Re: box camera for plates
Hi. It´s look like an Ernemann Ernette or Erni model...maybe you must find it in an earliest Ernemann catalogue. Good luck!!
Re: box camera for plates
Thanks Willo. No any bids yet for this 6.5 x 9 cm palte camera. Could it be a Zeiss Ikon instead of Ernemann?
Re: box camera for plates
Hi hjh67...Yes, you are right , may be its a Zeiss Ikon Erni, indeed. I am not an antique cameras expert, I just use my Mc Keowns catalog, when I have doubts. Hope you will find a good buyer for your camera, but I guess you should fix a price for it.
Ebay its a good place for sell it. I was trying to sell a Kodak Retinette around here, but...as I told you, we are in the wrong web to bid. Good luck!!

Hi Willo! Have to apologize for my bad englsih. My intention was to write that I'm watching this Erni on a fleabay site.
Re: box camera for plates -- Orionwerk Orion Box
I won the net auction of this camera and received the camera yesterday. It is a Orionwerk Orion Box for 6,5x9 cm plates and film packs. The manufacturer is not indicated at all on the camera. I was lucky to spot another similar camera on a fleabay site to confirm the identification, though I was too slow to buy it (that with red background). The stops are in funny order: 25, 12 and 17. McKeown 1997/1998 provides a spec of the camera, but no photo. I paid 46 eurand the other one was 57 eur.
Re: box camera for plates
Your camera is probably a Rio 73B camera from 1923. (plate size is indeed 6.5X9cm). This camera is described on page 767 of Mc Keown's 12th edition (price range $ 125-175).
I have attached a picture of the Orion Box camera from 1930 which is described on page 762 of the same Mc Keown's (price range $75-125).
Kind regards.
