Krauss (G.A.) Stereoplast
The G.A. Krauss Stereoplast is an early 20th-century French stereo camera, designed to expose paired images for stereoscopic viewing. It belongs to the era when stereo photography was a mainstream amateur format, and Krauss of Paris produced a range of plate and stereo cameras for that market.
Evidence of what a Stereoplast is worth in today's market is thin: the only documented UK auction hammer result on file is a single 2007 sale at £84, which sets a wholesale data point rather than a reliable range. With just one record, the price a Stereoplast sells for in 2026 will depend heavily on completeness, lens condition and whether the original case and plate holders are present, so buyers should treat that figure as indicative only.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Krauss Stereoplast worth today?
Auction data is very limited, but the one recorded UK hammer price was £84 in 2007; a clean, complete example today would likely trade in a similar wholesale bracket, with condition and accessories driving most of the variation.
How much does a Krauss Stereoplast sell for at auction?
Only one verified UK auction sale is on record at £84 hammer, so any current price estimate should be treated as a rough guide rather than an established market value.
What should I check before buying one?
Focus on bellows integrity, shutter operation on both lenses, glass clarity, and whether the camera retains its plate holders and case, since these factors largely determine the price a Stereoplast can command.
