Coronet 3-D
The Coronet 3-D is a British-made stereo camera produced by Coronet of Birmingham, designed to shoot paired images on roll film for stereoscopic viewing. It sits in the budget end of the post-war stereo market, aimed at amateur users rather than serious enthusiasts.
At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the Coronet 3-D have sat in a narrow £38–£44 band across the limited results on file, giving a midpoint near £41. With only a couple of saleroom records to anchor today's value, what one of these cameras sells for depends heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the original case and viewer are present.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Coronet 3-D worth today?
On the limited UK auction evidence available, the Coronet 3-D has a value of roughly £38–£44 at hammer, though clean, complete examples with the original viewer can push above that range.
How much does a Coronet 3-D sell for at auction?
Recorded UK saleroom results sit between £38 and £44, so the price a typical user-grade body achieves is usually in the high £30s to mid £40s.
Is the Coronet 3-D a collectible camera?
It has niche appeal as an inexpensive entry into vintage stereo photography, but its modest specification keeps prices low compared with higher-end stereo cameras of the same era.
