Houghton Klito No.6
The Houghton Klito No.6 is a British-made box-form plate camera from the early 20th century, produced by Houghton Ltd of London for amateur snapshot use on glass plates. It sat in the budget end of Houghton's range when new, aimed at entry-level photographers.
Sales data for the Klito No.6 is very thin: the only verified UK auction hammer result on file is a single 2018 sale at £84, which gives a rough indication of what the model has been worth at saleroom level rather than a reliable market price for today. With just one data point, current value in 2026 cannot be stated with confidence, and condition, completeness of plate holders, and original case will heavily influence what an 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 Houghton Klito No.6 worth today?
Auction data is extremely limited, but the one recorded UK hammer price was £84 in 2018; today's value for a comparable example is likely in a similar low-double to low-triple-figure range, depending heavily on condition and completeness.
How much does a Houghton Klito No.6 sell for at auction?
The single verified UK auction sale on record achieved £84 hammer, so this is a low-value collector item rather than a high-price classic.
Why is the price so uncertain?
With only one verified sale in our records, there is not enough data to establish a reliable median or range for the current market.
