What it is
{"overview":"The Paris Jumelle is a binocular-style box camera from the late 19th to early 20th century, a format named for its resemblance to a pair of opera glasses. Because this is a wholesale saleroom price rather than a dealer asking figure, retail values for comparable examples may be higher, and condition of the bellows, plate holders and optics will heavily influence what any given example is worth.","buying_guide":"Inspect the wooden body and leatherette covering for shrinkage and lifting, check the bellows for light leaks at the corners, and confirm that any original plate holders are present, since replacements are difficult to source.

Questions
Is the price likely to vary by condition?
Yes — jumelle-style plate cameras are highly condition-sensitive, and examples with intact bellows, clear optics and original plate holders typically command a premium over incomplete or damaged bodies.
