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.
