Suter Liliput
The Suter Liliput is an early miniature plate camera produced by the Swiss firm E. Suter of Basel. It is a small-format detective-style camera from the late 19th to early 20th century, aimed at photographers wanting a discreet, pocketable instrument at a time when most plate cameras were considerably larger.
Sales data for the Suter Liliput is extremely limited, with one recorded UK auction hammer result of £450 in 2016 — a wholesale, saleroom-level figure rather than a retail price. With only a single data point, it is not possible to give a reliable price range or median for what a Suter Liliput is worth today in 2026, and individual results can vary widely with condition, completeness and provenance.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Suter Liliput worth at UK auction?
Available data is sparse — a single recorded UK auction sale reached £450 hammer, but one result is not enough to establish a dependable market value.
How much does a Suter Liliput sell for today?
With only one verified sale on record, any current price estimate is speculative; condition, completeness and the presence of original accessories will drive what an example sells for.
Why does the price of a Suter Liliput vary so much?
Thin trading volume means each appearance can set its own price, and factors such as working shutter, intact bellows and original plate holders strongly influence value.
