Rochester Camera Mfg. Co. Cycle Poco No.3

The Rochester Camera Mfg. Co. Cycle Poco No.3 is an early American folding plate camera from the late 19th-century cycle-camera era, designed to be compact enough to carry while cycling. It was sold as a mid-tier folding plate model in Rochester's Poco line.

Hammer prices at UK auction for the Cycle Poco No.3 are thinly evidenced, with a single recorded saleroom result at £75 in 2023, so today's value sits around that figure rather than across a clear range. As of 2026 the camera trades as a collector item where condition of the bellows, wood, and leather covering largely determines what it sells for.
