Evans Hanover Camera No. 2
The Evans Hanover Camera No. 2 is a British-made plate camera from Evans of London, a UK photographic supplier active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It sits in the field/plate-camera category typical of the period rather than the later roll-film market.
Evidence on what an Evans Hanover Camera No. 2 is worth in 2026 is thin: only a single UK auction hammer result is on file, where one example sold for £156 in October 2017. With just one wholesale saleroom data point, that figure is best treated as an indicative price rather than a reliable median, and condition, completeness of lens and plate holders, and originality will swing the value either side of it.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Evans Hanover Camera No. 2 worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record available, one example sold for £156 at hammer in 2017; with only a single data point, current value is best estimated in that broad region, adjusted for condition and completeness.
How much does an Evans Hanover Camera No. 2 sell for at auction?
The only logged UK saleroom result shows a hammer price of £156, which gives a rough guide to the price level rather than a firm market range.
What affects the value of this camera most?
Bellows condition, originality of the lens and plate holders, and overall cosmetic state are the main drivers; a clean, complete outfit will sell for noticeably more than a stripped or damaged body.
