Rouch Stereoscopic Hand Camera
The Rouch Stereoscopic Hand Camera is a stereo plate camera produced for taking paired side-by-side exposures intended for viewing in a stereoscope. Hand-held stereo cameras of this configuration belong to the late-Victorian and Edwardian era of British photographic equipment.
Sales data for the Rouch Stereoscopic Hand Camera is extremely limited, with a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £293 at Christie's in 2001. Because that figure is more than two decades old and represents only one wholesale saleroom data point, it should be treated as indicative rather than a current value, and what the camera is worth today would depend heavily on completeness, cosmetic condition, and bidder interest on the day.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Rouch Stereoscopic Hand Camera worth today?
The only verified UK auction record is a £293 hammer price from Christie's in 2001, so any current value estimate is uncertain; condition and completeness would drive the price.
How much does a Rouch Stereoscopic Hand Camera sell for at auction?
On the single hammer result available, one example sold for £293 at saleroom level, but with just one data point this is not a reliable guide to today's market price.
What should I check before buying one?
Inspect the bellows, shutter operation, both lens elements, and the presence of original plate holders and ground glass, since missing or damaged parts are difficult and costly to replace.
