Zeiss Ikon Rare 1627/16 1930 Camera Tripod Camera accessories

Zeiss Ikon 1627/16 – Rare 7-Section Pocket Travel Tripod with Original Leather Case (c. 1930s) – Fully Functional Up for auction is a beautiful, highly collectible piece of German photographic history: an original Zeiss Ikon Model 1627/16 telescopic pocket travel tripod (Flachkopf-Stativ), dating from the late 1920s to the 1930s. This is the highly sought-after 7-section variant, engineered to extend to a impressive maximum working height of 125 cm while collapsing down small enough to easily fit into a jacket pocket. The mounting plate proudly features the distinct, crisp Zeiss Ikon shield logo stamp, dating this item to the golden era of German medium-format folding cameras (such as the Ikonta, Nettar, and Maximar series). Condition Report: * Mechanical: Excellent. Unlike many vintage tripods of this age, this example functions perfectly. The nested brass tubes pull out smoothly, and the internal friction sleeves remain tight, allowing the tripod to easily support weight and stand firmly on its own without slipping. The integrated tilting head hinge works flawlessly. * Cosmetic: Beautifully preserved original condition. The upper main sleeves retain their original black enamel finish. The telescopic brass segments carry a gorgeous, authentic historical dark patina that has been left untouched to preserve its antique value. The Zeiss Ikon 1627/16 folding metal tripod was originally designed and manufactured by ICA (Internationale Camera Actiengesellschaft). Before it became a Zeiss Ikon product, ICA designed and listed this 7-section, 125 cm compact tripod with a folding head in their own accessory lineups. When Zeiss Ikon was formed in 1926 through the major merger of four prominent camera and accessory makers—ICA, Contessa-Nettel, Ernemann, and Goerz—Zeiss Ikon absorbed ICA's entire catalog. They kept producing the design, merely rebranding it with the Zeiss Ikon name while keeping the historic catalog designation. * Completeness: Comes complete with its ultra-rare original leather carrying pouch. The leather is intact and ready for display alongside your vintage camera collection. Please review the high-resolution photos carefully to assess the excellent cosmetic state of this collector's set. It will be packaged with professional care and shipped with full tracking.
