The Meagher Tailboard Camera (double extension) is a wooden field camera designed for plate photography, with a folding tailboard bed and a double-extension bellows that allows close-focus and longer-focal-length lens use. Cameras of this type were produced in Britain in the late 19th century for studio and outdoor plate work.

Recorded UK auction activity for the Meagher Tailboard Camera (double extension) is thin, with a single hammer result of £69 logged in our sales data — a wholesale level achieved in the saleroom rather than a retail asking price. With only one data point, it is difficult to give a representative price band today in 2026, and what a clean example sells for can vary widely with bellows condition, completeness of plate holders, and the presence of a period lens.
