The Newman & Guardia Special B is a British-made plate camera from the early 20th century, produced by the London maker Newman & Guardia. It was sold as a higher-grade hand-and-stand camera aimed at advanced amateur and professional photographers of its era.

At UK saleroom level, hammer prices for the Special B have spanned roughly £82 to £810, reflecting how condition and completeness drive what this model is worth today in 2026. The most recent recorded result, from late 2023, sells for £812, while an earlier 2003 example fetched at auction for just £82, so the price a clean working outfit commands is sensitive to leather condition, shutter function, and the presence of original plate holders.
