What it is

{"overview":"The Butcher Midg No.0 is an early 20th-century British box-form plate camera sold by W. Butcher & Sons of London. On that limited evidence, today's value for a Midg No.0 is in the region of what one well-presented example sells for at auction, but a wider price range cannot be reliably established from one data point.","buying_guide":"Cameras of this age commonly suffer from light-leaking bellows, seized shutters, tarnished brass fittings and cracked leather covering, so inspect bellows in a darkened room and test shutter speeds by ear. Completeness matters for value — original plate holders, ground glass and case lift prices, while missing or replacement parts depress them.
