Thornton-pickardmfg. Co. Amber (half plate)

{"overview":"The Thornton-Pickard Amber (half plate) is a British wood-and-brass field camera taking half-plate glass negatives, a format common in late-Victorian and Edwardian large-format photography. With only one data point available in 2026, today's value for a comparable example is best treated as broadly in line with that figure, though condition, completeness of the bellows, and the presence of original lens and plate holders will move what one sells for in either direction.","buying_guide":"On any wooden Thornton-Pickard plate camera the bellows are the first thing to inspect: check the corners and folds for light leaks, as replacement is the most common restoration cost.
