Vintage Zeiss Ikon Contessa 35 (Model 533/24) — a compact 35mm folding rangefinder camera made by Zeiss Ikon in Stuttgart, Germany, between 1950 and 1955.
Features a built-in selenium light meter behind the flip-up "ZEISS IKON" door and a coupled rangefinder. Complete with its original brown leather ever-ready case, with red velvet lining. Neck strap not included.
Measurements: approximately 5.5" long × 2" deep × 4.1" tall with case.
Condition: Sold untested, as-is. The camera was photographed folded and was not test-run — the bellows, lens, and shutter have not been verified. The exterior is in very good condition: bright chrome with only minor surface scuffing, intact black pebbled leatherette, and no bubbling under the covering. The selenium light meter is likely inactive after 70+ years. The leather case shows scuffing and finish loss at high points and edges. Sold as a vintage collectible.
