Butcher Stereolette
The Butcher Stereolette is a small-format stereo camera, designed to produce paired side-by-side images for three-dimensional viewing. It belongs to the early twentieth-century generation of British-marketed stereo cameras aimed at amateur enthusiasts.
Auction data for the Butcher Stereolette is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom result is a single hammer price of £80 from 1998, so any current price guidance is indicative rather than firm. With no recent comparables, what a Stereolette is worth today depends heavily on completeness, cosmetic condition and whether the shutter and stereo pair are functional, and sellers should expect wide variation in what the camera sells for at auction.
