What it is
{"overview":"The Hunter & Sands Tailboard Camera is a British-made wooden field camera of the tailboard pattern, a folding plate-camera design that was standard for studio and outdoor view work in the late Victorian and Edwardian period. Because the sample is small, what a given example is worth today depends heavily on completeness — bellows condition, presence of a lens, and original dark slides can swing the price a buyer sells for at saleroom level by a wide margin.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes and corner splits, check the mahogany body and brass fittings for shrinkage cracks and missing screws, and confirm the ground-glass screen is intact.
