What it is
{"overview":"The Thornton-Pickard Tribune is a British plate camera produced by the Manchester firm Thornton-Pickard Manufacturing Co., a maker active from the late Victorian era through the early twentieth century. As of 2026 these wholesale figures suggest what a Tribune sells for at auction depends heavily on completeness and cosmetic condition, and a confident value or price guide really requires more recent comparable data.","buying_guide":"On any Thornton-Pickard plate camera, inspect the wooden body for cracked or split panels, check the leather bellows for pinholes by shining a torch inside, and confirm the shutter (where fitted) still tensions and releases at a believable speed.
