Sanderson Deluxe
The Sanderson Deluxe is a British-made wooden field camera produced by Sanderson, a maker known for hand-built large-format plate cameras. It was offered as a higher-grade variant in the Sanderson range, with mahogany construction and brass fittings typical of British field cameras of its era.
Sales data for the Sanderson Deluxe is extremely limited, with a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £650 in 2014. With only one data point to reference, today's value, price, and what the camera sells for at saleroom level can only be indicated by that figure rather than a meaningful range or median. Condition of the woodwork, bellows integrity, and presence of the original lens and shutter heavily influence what any individual example is worth.
