Chronology of cameras Ica
Ica AG (International Camera Aktien Gesellschaft) was established in 1909 through the merger of the companies Huttig, Krugener, Wuensche, and Carl Zeiss Palmos, with Zulauf joining in 1911.
Several years were required to finalize this merger, during which production relied on the expertise of each of the founding companies. From this period, you can find some original models, but also often copies from one or another of the previous brands bearing the name Ica, sometimes even not listed in an Ica catalog and without a specific model code.
It was from 1912 that the situation stabilized, and the various camera models began to follow a certain coherence until 1926, when Ica ceased to exist. It was absorbed, along with others, into Zeiss Ikon.

A few times ago, Mr. Gerard sent me the following message :
“I have just consulted your website on the level of the catalogues Photo-Plait, indeed, I was astonished to find a camera that I had classified in the unknown ones in the catalogue of March 1928 that I have just acquired. It is about the model "Le Mignon" (the pretty one). On your site, it appears in your catalogue 1927 and not of June 1928. For information in March 1928, it was still on sale.
The model of which I lay out has a different shutter of mark EDO and a Itier lens from Paris ( 6,3/110 mm).
I had classified it under mark SIVA "
A little later, following the advertisement of the recasting of the pages of the 1927 Photo-Plait catalogue, Bernard Plazonnet pointed out on the forum of the website, that the camera distributed under the name of “Le Mignon” is probably an ICA Spreizen. It illustrated its message by a photograph of this German camera.
