Piggott Cheapside
The Piggott Cheapside is a 19th-century English camera associated with the London optical and photographic trade. It is collected today as a piece of early British photographic equipment rather than as a working tool.
Sales evidence for the Piggott Cheapside is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from October 2017 saw an example sell for £168, and as of 2026 no further public sales have surfaced to refine that figure. With only one data point, what a Piggott Cheapside is worth today depends heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day, and the £168 hammer price should be read as an indicative wholesale level rather than a retail value.
