Photographic Apparatus & Chemical Travellers Camera

The Photographic Apparatus & Chemical Travellers Camera is a British-made plate camera, sold by a London supplier active in the early photographic trade. As a portable plate camera marketed for travel use, it sits within the late-Victorian and early-Edwardian field-camera category.

Sales evidence for this model is thin: a single UK auction record from October 2017 shows a hammer price of £228 at saleroom level — wholesale rather than retail. With only one data point, that figure is the best available reference for what the camera is worth today, and condition, completeness of the plate holders, and the state of the bellows will move the price materially in either direction.
