Butcher Williamson
The Butcher Williamson is an early plate camera associated with the British photographic retailer W. Butcher & Sons, which distributed cameras and accessories in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Models bearing this name fall within the field/plate camera tradition of that era and were sold for general photographic use when new.
Auction data for this camera is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result from 2001 saw a hammer price of £1,057, and no recent sales are available to set a current value or median for today's market. Prices at this level reflect collector interest in early Butcher-branded equipment, but with only one wholesale auction data point the figure should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable guide to what the camera sells for now.
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.
