Adams Natti

The Adams Natti is a British-made hand and stand plate camera produced by Adams & Co. of London in the early twentieth century. It was a folding wooden field camera positioned at the upper end of the amateur and professional plate-camera market of its era.

Auction evidence for the Natti is thin, with a single recorded UK saleroom result of £239 hammer in 2004 — a wholesale level reflecting what the trade and collectors paid before commission. With only one data point on file, today's value for a comparable example is best treated as a guide rather than a firm price, and condition of the bellows, shutter and woodwork will heavily influence what one sells for at auction.

Sales History

Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Adams Natti worth today?

The only verified UK auction record on file is £239 hammer from 2004, so a precise current value is hard to pin down; condition and completeness will largely determine what a clean example sells for.

How much does an Adams Natti sell for at auction?

At UK auction the recorded hammer price is £239, achieved at Christie's in 2004, which represents a wholesale saleroom result rather than a retail dealer asking price.

Is the Adams Natti a collectible camera?

Adams & Co. of London cameras have a following among British plate-camera collectors, and the Natti's scarcity at auction suggests interest is driven more by rarity and originality than by routine trading volume.
