Gandolfi Stereo Tropical
The Gandolfi Stereo Tropical is a wooden-bodied stereo plate camera from the British maker Gandolfi, configured for paired exposures on a single plate. Tropical-specification examples were built with weather-resistant timbers and brass fittings intended for use in hot, humid climates.
Sales data for the Stereo Tropical is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result from March 2018 records a price of £2,000, and that figure is the only reference point for what one is worth today. Because this is a wholesale saleroom result rather than a dealer asking price, retail values for a comparable example would typically sit higher, and condition of the woodwork, bellows and brasswork drives where any individual camera sells for within or above that benchmark.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
