What it is
{"overview":"The Perken Rayment's Patent is an early British-made camera associated with the London optical maker Perken, Son & Rayment. As of today in 2026, the value of any given example sells for a figure well inside that band depending on bellows, lens and overall presentation, and buyers should expect the price a clean outfit is worth to sit toward the upper end of the range.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes and light leaks, check that the wooden body and any brass fittings are free of splits, corrosion and missing screws, and confirm the lens and shutter are the original Perken-marked components rather than later replacements.
