Thornton-pickardmfg. Co. Puck
The Thornton-Pickard Puck is an early British box-style camera from the Thornton-Pickard Manufacturing Co., a Manchester-based maker active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It sits at the budget end of the firm's range and is encountered today primarily as a collector's piece rather than a working tool.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Puck have been very modest, with the two recorded sales falling between £6 and £12 (median around £9). As of 2026 these saleroom figures suggest the model is worth single-digit to low double-digit sums, and what a Puck sells for depends heavily on completeness and cosmetic condition.
