Moore & Co. Aptus Ferrotype Camera

The Moore & Co. Aptus Ferrotype Camera is a 19th-century ferrotype (tintype) camera designed for direct-positive metal-plate photography, a process used by itinerant and street photographers for quick portraits.

Sales data for the Aptus Ferrotype is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 1999 sold for £63, which reflects wholesale saleroom level rather than retail. With only one historical data point, today's value is difficult to pin down, and what a comparable example sells for now would depend heavily on completeness, condition, and collector interest at the time of sale.

Sales History

Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
