Historic Leica camera set to fetch nearly �1/4m

A rare O-series Leica camera from 1923 � one of around 21 made to test the market � is expected to fetch up to �223,000 at auction next month.

The auctioneers claim the camera, carrying the serial number '107', is in 'excellent and fully working condition'.

It will go under the hammer as part of the Westlicht Photographica Auction in Vienna, Austria on 17 November.

It is the seventh camera in the legendary O-series, which preceded the launch of the first mass-produced 35mm Leica camera, the Leica 1, in 1925.
