Butcher Watch Pocket Carbine

The Butcher Watch Pocket Carbine is a compact folding plate camera from the early 20th century, sold by the British photographic retailer W. Butcher & Sons. It was offered as an inexpensive pocket-format camera aimed at amateur users in its day.

Hammer prices at UK auction are modest: a single recorded sale in March 2022 went for £25, which is the only data point available for what this camera is worth in today's saleroom. With so little turnover, anyone trying to gauge the value or what one sells for now should treat that figure as indicative rather than a firm market price.

Sales History

Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
