The Essanbee is a camera produced by Benson Dry Plate & Camera Co. It is a historical American-made model, of interest primarily to collectors of early dry-plate era equipment.

Sales evidence for the Essanbee at UK auction is extremely thin: the only recorded hammer result on file is £480 from April 2018, achieved at saleroom level before commission. With just one data point, today's value for an Essanbee can only be benchmarked against that single sale, and what one is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day. Buyers asking how much an Essanbee sells for should treat the £480 figure as indicative rather than a reliable market price.
