Houghton Sanderson Junior Hand & Stand
The Houghton Sanderson Junior Hand & Stand is a British folding plate camera from the early 20th century, designed for use either handheld or on a tripod. It was positioned as a more affordable entry in the Sanderson range, which was known among UK plate-camera users of that era.
Sales data for this model is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2017 sold for £264, so any sense of what one is worth today rests on that lone data point. At saleroom level, wholesale hammer prices for Edwardian British folding plate cameras of this class typically swing widely with condition, completeness of the original bellows, and presence of the lens and shutter, so a current price could fall meaningfully above or below that figure.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Houghton Sanderson Junior Hand & Stand worth today?
Evidence is limited to one UK auction hammer result of £264 from 2017, so the value in 2026 is best estimated by comparison with similar Edwardian British folding plate cameras rather than a firm figure.
How much does a Sanderson Junior Hand & Stand sell for at auction?
The only recorded hammer price in our data is £264, achieved at UK auction; condition, completeness and the lens fitted will move the price up or down from there.
What affects the price of a Sanderson Junior most?
Bellows condition, originality of the lens and shutter, and the presence of plate holders are the main factors that determine what a buyer will pay.
