What it is
{"overview":"The Sharp & Hitchmough Gresham is an antique British camera produced by the Liverpool optical and photographic firm Sharp & Hitchmough. With just one data point at saleroom level, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a reliable market price, and condition, completeness of plate holders, and the state of the bellows and lens will heavily influence what a similar camera sells for now.","buying_guide":"On any camera of this age and construction, inspect the bellows for pinholes and corner splits, check that the wooden body is free of warping and active woodworm, and confirm the brass fittings and rack-and-pinion focusing move smoothly.
