Thornton-pickardmfg. Co. Klippa

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. It was offered as a compact strut-folding plate camera aimed at amateur photographers of its period.

Sales data for the Klippa is extremely thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result on file is a single £96 sale in 2017, so any sense of what one sells for today rests on a very small sample. 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.
