Mayfield Cobb & Co. Hand Camera
The Mayfield Cobb & Co. Hand Camera is a hand-held plate camera from the late-Victorian/early-twentieth-century era of British camera making. It was sold as a portable alternative to the studio and field cameras of its day.
Sales data for this model is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result, achieved at Christie's in 2002, sold for £352. With only one data point at saleroom level, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a reliable market price, and condition, completeness and provenance would heavily influence what a comparable example sells for now.
