ICA

In 1909, the four Dresden camera makers Hüttig AG, Kamerawerk Dr. Krügener, Wünsche AG and Zeiss-Palmos Camera-Bau joined forces to become the Internationale Camera Ag. Hüttig, one of the oldest cameramakers was founded in 1862. Originally, the company logo was a five-pointed star. Later this was changed to a light-bearing angel. ICA produced a variety of cameras. The plate cameras Sirene 135 and Ideal are common. In 1926, ICA was one of the name-giving partners in Zeiss-Ikon. The others were Ernemann, also in Dresden, Goerz and Contessa-Nettel.
