Dubroni No.1 (outfit, late)
The Dubroni No.1 is a 19th-century French wet-collodion camera designed for in-camera processing, with the late outfit referring to a complete kit including the camera body and accessories. It is a small, handheld apparatus from the early era of photography, and surviving examples are sought by collectors of pre-dry-plate equipment.
Auction data for the Dubroni No.1 (late outfit) is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2018 sold for £720, which represents wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail or dealer asking price. With only one data point, today's value is best understood as indicative rather than a market median, and condition, completeness of the outfit, and provenance will heavily influence what a comparable example sells for.
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. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Dubroni No.1 (late outfit) worth today?
Based on the only recorded UK auction sale, a complete late outfit hammered at £720 in 2018; with so little data, current value depends heavily on condition and completeness.
How much does a Dubroni No.1 outfit sell for at auction?
The single tracked UK auction result is £720 hammer, which sits at wholesale saleroom level and excludes buyer's premium.
Why is the price range for this camera uncertain?
Only one verified sale is on record, so there is no meaningful range or median — additional comparable results would be needed to establish a reliable market price.
