Ross Stereo Camera (tailboard)

{"overview":"The Ross Stereo Camera (tailboard) is a 19th-century British wood-and-brass stereoscopic plate camera of the tailboard pattern, produced by the London optical maker Ross for recording paired images on a single glass plate. As of 2026, what a complete tailboard Ross stereo sells for today is strongly condition-sensitive: bellows integrity, matched lens pair, original plate holders and wooden body finish all drive value, and incomplete examples typically trade below this range.","buying_guide":"Inspect the leather bellows for pinholes and corner wear, check that both lenses are present, matched and free of significant internal haze or separation, and confirm the brass fittings, focusing rack and tailboard hinges are intact and functional.
