Butcher Klimax Model II

The Butcher Klimax Model II is an early 20th-century British plate camera sold by W. Butcher & Sons, a London-based photographic retailer and assembler. It was offered as a folding plate camera aimed at the amateur market of its era.

Auction data for the Klimax Model II is thin: a single UK saleroom result from January 2025 recorded a hammer price of £62, so today the model sells for roughly that level at auction-hammer prices, which represent wholesale values before commission. With only one data point, the wider price range and what a clean example is truly worth in 2026 remain difficult to pin down, and condition will heavily influence value.
