ICA
ad of 1922 |
In 1909, the four Dresden camera makers Hüttig AG, Kamerawerk Dr. Krügener, Wünsche AG and Carl Zeiss Palmos AG joined forces to become the Internationale Camera Ag. Hüttig, one of the oldest camera makers 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. Of course some camera lines of the founding companies were continued. 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.
