Bellieni Stereo Reisekamera (Field Camera)
The Bellieni Stereo Reisekamera is a wooden field camera built for stereo photography, designed to capture paired images for stereoscopic viewing. It belongs to the tradition of European travel-format plate cameras intended for use on a tripod with sheet film or glass plate holders.
Auction data for this model is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom result is a single hammer price of £650 in 2011, so today's value is hard to pin down with precision. With just one data point, what a Bellieni Stereo Reisekamera sells for in the current market depends heavily on completeness, woodwork condition, and whether original plate holders are present, and any modern price would need to be confirmed against fresh comparable sales.

How much does a Bellieni Stereo Reisekamera sell for at auction?
The one verified UK saleroom hammer price on record is £650, achieved in 2011; that figure excludes buyer's and seller's commission and reflects wholesale auction level rather than a retail or dealer asking price.

Condition of the woodwork and bellows, working order of both shutters, and the presence of original plate holders and ground glass are the main factors that move value on cameras of this type.
