What it is
{"overview":"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. 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.","buying_guide":"On any early Thornton-Pickard rollfilm body, inspect the wooden carcass and leather covering for splits, lifting or worm damage, and check the bellows (if fitted) for light-tight corners and pinholes.

Questions
Is the Thornton-Pickard Imperial Rollfilm collectable?
It has interest as an early British rollfilm camera from a known Manchester maker, but with so little recent sales evidence the price a given example sells for can vary widely between buyers.
