What it is
{"overview":"The Sands & Hunter Cranbourn is a British-made plate camera, part of the wooden field-camera tradition produced by London retailer and maker Sands & Hunter. With no recent comparable sales, the price a Cranbourn sells for today depends heavily on completeness, the presence of original lens and plate holders, and the condition of the woodwork and bellows.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes and corner wear, check the wooden body for splits or warped panels, and confirm the ground-glass screen is intact.

Questions
How much does a Sands & Hunter Cranbourn sell for today?
Public auction evidence is limited to one sale, so a reliable current price range cannot be quoted; condition, completeness of plate holders and any original lens will drive whatever a specific example sells for.
Is the Sands & Hunter Cranbourn a usable camera?
It is a plate camera from a long-defunct British maker, so using it requires sourcing plate holders or adapters and accepting that no manufacturer service or parts supply remains.
