Butcher Cameo

The Butcher Cameo is a vintage British-branded box-style camera sold by W. Butcher & Sons, a London photographic retailer active in the early twentieth century. It is a simple roll-film snapshot camera aimed at the entry-level amateur market of its period.

At UK auction in the current market, hammer prices for the Butcher Cameo sit at the very low end: the only verified saleroom result on file is £12 (October 2024), so the camera typically sells for around £12 at auction-hammer level today. With just one data point, the figure is indicative rather than a reliable median, and condition, completeness of the case, and working shutter would all influence what a clean example is worth.
