What it is
{"overview":"The Thornton-Pickard Klippa is a folding plate camera produced by the British maker Thornton-Pickard Manufacturing Co., active from the late 19th century into the early 20th. At saleroom level — these are wholesale hammer prices, before commission — condition, completeness of the original case, and the presence of a working shutter will swing the price materially.","buying_guide":"On any folding plate camera of this age, inspect the leather bellows for pinholes, check the wooden body and struts for splits or warping, and confirm the shutter still fires across its speeds.
