What it is
{"overview":"The Lancaster Ladies Camera is a tailboard plate camera produced by J. Lancaster & Son of Birmingham in the late Victorian era. With only one data point in our records, the figure should be read as a wholesale auction-hammer outcome and not as a current retail value, and what a Lancaster Ladies Camera (tailboard) is worth today will depend heavily on completeness, lens, and cosmetic condition.","buying_guide":"Inspect the mahogany body and brass fittings for cracks, woodworm, and missing screws, and check that the bellows are light-tight by examining for pinholes and corner wear.
