Thornton-pickardmfg. Co. Imperial Triple Extension

{"overview":"The Thornton-Pickard Imperial Triple Extension is a British-made wooden plate field camera, notable for bellows that extend to roughly three times the normal focal length to allow close-focus and long-lens work. Buyers researching what one is worth should note these are saleroom wholesale levels rather than retail asking prices.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows carefully for pinholes and corner splits, as replacement is the single most expensive repair on a camera of this age. Check that the triple-extension rack-and-pinion movement runs smoothly front and rear, that the ground glass is intact, and that the lens board, focusing screen and any dark slides are present — missing plate holders sharply reduce usable value.
