Gaumont Stereo (Spido, metallic)
The Gaumont Stereo (Spido, metallic) is an early stereo plate camera, part of Gaumont's Spido line of metal-bodied folding stereo cameras intended for paired-image photography on glass plates.
At UK auction, a hammer result of £100 was recorded in January 2024, which is the only verified data point currently on file, so any sense of what one is worth today rests on that single saleroom figure rather than a true range. Buyers asking how much a Gaumont Stereo (Spido, metallic) sells for should treat this as indicative only, since condition, completeness of the plate holders, and shutter function can move the price materially in either direction.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Gaumont Stereo (Spido, metallic) worth today?
The one verified UK auction hammer price on record is £100 from early 2024, so that figure is the best current reference for value, though a single sale is not a reliable price band.
How much does a Gaumont Stereo (Spido, metallic) sell for at auction?
Available data shows a single hammer price of £100 at UK auction; clean, complete examples with working shutters and original plate holders would typically be expected to perform better when they appear.
What should I check before buying one?
Look closely at bellows condition, lens clarity on both sides, shutter timing, and whether plate holders are included, as these factors drive the price more than cosmetics alone.
