Newman & Guardia Sibyl Deluxe
The Newman & Guardia Sibyl Deluxe is a British folding rollfilm camera, a higher-grade variant within the Sibyl family of compact folding plate and rollfilm cameras produced by the London maker in the early 20th century.
Sales data for the Sibyl Deluxe is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from May 2020 saw one sell for £294, which is the only verifiable saleroom data point we have on what this camera is worth today. With just one record there is no meaningful range or median to quote, and condition, completeness of the original case and accessories, and working shutter all heavily influence what a given example sells for at auction.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Newman & Guardia Sibyl Deluxe worth today?
Based on the only UK auction record we hold, a Sibyl Deluxe sold for £294 at hammer in 2020; with just one data point this should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market value.
How much does a Sibyl Deluxe sell for at auction?
The single verified sale in our database hammered at £294, but the price an individual example fetches will depend strongly on cosmetic condition, shutter function, and whether the original case and accessories are present.
Is the Sibyl Deluxe a rare camera?
It appears infrequently in UK salerooms — our records show only one tracked sale — so opportunities to benchmark its value are limited and buyers should expect prices to vary widely between examples.
