Devin Colorgraphco. Tri-Color Camera
The Devin Colorgraphco Tri-Color Camera is a specialist tri-colour separation camera, a type used to capture three colour-filtered negatives in a single exposure for early colour photographic processes. It belongs to the niche of pre-modern colour-imaging apparatus rather than general-purpose photography.
With only two recorded UK auction results, hammer prices for the Tri-Color Camera have sat at £660 and £688, giving a tight band of roughly £660–£690 at saleroom level (wholesale, excluding commission). Today this remains a thinly traded item, so any sense of what one sells for is drawn from a very small sample and condition of the bellows, filters and back can move the price meaningfully.
