Thornton-pickardmfg. Co. Imperial Rollfilm
The Thornton-Pickard Imperial Rollfilm is a British-made rollfilm camera from Thornton-Pickard Manufacturing Co., a Manchester firm active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It sits within the early rollfilm category aimed at amateur and field photographers of its period.
Auction evidence for the Imperial Rollfilm is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £200 is on record, so any sense of what the camera is worth today rests on that one data point rather than a true range or median. Because this is a wholesale auction figure rather than a retail price, dealer asking prices and what the camera ultimately sells for in shops can sit higher, and condition or completeness will move the value materially.
