Moore & Co. Field Camera
The Moore & Co. Field Camera is a British-made wooden field camera, a folding large-format design of the type used by professional and amateur photographers from the late 19th into the early 20th century. Cameras of this pattern were sold for landscape, architectural and studio work using glass plates or sheet film.
Auction evidence for this model is thin: a single UK saleroom record from 2017 shows a hammer price of £114, which sits at wholesale auction level rather than dealer retail. With only one data point, today's value for a comparable example is best treated as indicative rather than a firm market price, and condition of the bellows, woodwork and brassware will heavily influence what one sells for.
Sales History
