London Stereoscopic& Photo Twin Lens Artist Hand Camera
The London Stereoscopic & Photographic Company's Twin Lens Artist Hand Camera is a late-Victorian British plate camera with a twin-lens configuration for reflex viewing, supplied in a wooden hand-camera body of the type sold in London in the closing years of the 19th century.
Sales data for this model is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £550 in December 2009 is the only reference point on file, so any current value figure carries a wide margin of error. With nothing more recent at saleroom level today, sellers asking what one sells for in 2026 should treat that historical hammer price as an indicator only, since condition, completeness of the original lenses and shutter, and case presentation will swing the price materially.

Frequently asked questions
What is a London Stereoscopic & Photographic Twin Lens Artist Hand Camera worth?
The only UK auction hammer result on record is £550 from December 2009; with no recent comparables, that figure is the sole guide to value and should be treated cautiously.
How much does a Twin Lens Artist Hand Camera sell for today?
There are no recent UK auction results on file in 2026, so a reliable current price cannot be quoted; the historic £550 hammer remains the only data point.
Why is the price so uncertain?
With just one recorded sale, the market sample is too small to establish a reliable range, and condition of the wood, lenses and shutter will drive any individual result.
