Houghton Victo Superbe

The Houghton Victo Superbe is a folding plate camera from the British maker Houghton, sold in the early twentieth century. It belongs to the era of wood-and-leather folding cameras designed for glass plate photography.

Sales data for the Victo Superbe is extremely thin: a single Christie's hammer result from 2001 recorded £188 at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). With no recent UK auction activity to draw on, a current 2026 price or value range cannot be reliably stated, and what a Victo Superbe sells for today will depend heavily on completeness and cosmetic condition when one does surface.

Sales History

Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
