What it is
{"overview":"The Steinheil Stereo Detective is an early stereo plate camera, produced for capturing paired images on glass plates for stereoscopic viewing. With only one data point, that figure should be read as an indicative wholesale auction outcome for an exceptional example rather than a reliable guide to what the camera is worth or sells for in the wider market.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes, check that both shutters fire and stay synchronised, and confirm the original lens pair is matched and unseparated.

Questions
Is the Steinheil Stereo Detective a rare camera?
