What it is
{"overview":"The Archer & Sons Pool is a camera attributed to the British maker Archer & Sons. With only one data point, the price a Pool sells for at any given sale could vary widely depending on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day.","buying_guide":"As with any older British-made camera, inspect the shutter for sticking or capping, check bellows (if fitted) for light leaks, and confirm that any ground glass, plate holders or accessories are present, since missing original parts materially affect value.
