Century Field Grand
The Century Field Grand is a large-format wooden field camera, the type used with sheet film and bellows focusing. It belongs to the tradition of folding plate and field cameras produced for studio and outdoor use.
Sales data for the Century Field Grand is thin, with a single recorded UK auction hammer result at £125, so any sense of what one is worth today rests on that lone data point rather than an established price band. Condition of the bellows, woodwork and brass fittings tends to drive value at saleroom level, and a complete example with its original lens board and back can sell for noticeably more than a stripped body.
