Thornton-pickardmfg. Co. Special Ruby Reflex

{"overview":"The Thornton-Pickard Special Ruby Reflex is a British-made large-format single-lens reflex plate camera from the early twentieth century, built around a leather-covered wooden body with a focal-plane shutter. As of today in 2026, that level reflects wholesale saleroom results for examples sold as decorative or project pieces rather than working cameras; a complete, cosmetically strong example with original lens and plate holders would likely sell for more than this recorded sample suggests.","buying_guide":"Inspect the wooden body for shrinkage, splits and lifting leatherette, and check the focal-plane shutter cloth for pinholes, brittleness and tension on both high and low speeds.
