Morley Portable Universal
The Morley Portable Universal is an early camera offered under the Morley name. With only sparse public reference material available, its detailed specification is not established here.
UK auction evidence for the Morley Portable Universal is thin: a single recorded hammer result from October 2017 sold for £276 at saleroom level (wholesale, excluding commission). With only one data point, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a reliable median, and condition and completeness would heavily influence what a comparable example sells for.
