Hare New Patent
The Hare New Patent is a wooden field camera produced by the British maker George Hare, used with sheet film or plates and intended for studio and outdoor view-camera work.
Sales evidence for the Hare New Patent is thin: a single UK auction hammer result in August 2024 sold for £126, which sits at wholesale saleroom level rather than retail. With only one data point, today's price for what a Hare New Patent is worth should be treated as indicative, and condition of the bellows, woodwork and fittings will heavily influence what any individual example sells for.
