What it is
{"overview":"The Kershaw Curlew III is a British folding roll-film camera produced by Kershaw of Leeds. With only a small number of recorded results, today's value is highly condition-dependent: tidy, working examples sell for more, while the camera is worth comparatively little in poor cosmetic order. Check that the folding strut mechanism locks the front standard rigid and that the film transport and frame counter operate smoothly.

Questions
Is the Kershaw Curlew III a good buy at its current price?
At current saleroom levels it is an inexpensive entry into British folding roll-film cameras, but the value depends heavily on bellows condition and shutter function, so factor in possible repair costs.
