What it is

{"overview":"The Butcher Cameo Stereo is a stereo camera sold under the W. Butcher & Sons name, a British photographic retailer active in the early twentieth century. Because it is a wholesale saleroom figure rather than a retail asking price, current condition-grade examples may sell for materially different sums when they next appear at auction.","buying_guide":"Cameras of this era and type commonly suffer from light-leaking bellows, sticky or inaccurate shutters, and separation or haze in the paired lenses, so inspect bellows in a darkened room and test both shutters across all speeds. Check that the two lenses match and that focusing and aperture mechanisms move freely.
