Thornton-pickardmfg. Co. Tribune

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. It was sold as a folding plate camera in the firm's range of amateur and field instruments.

UK auction hammer results for the Tribune are limited: the two recorded sales, both in October 2017, fetched £72 and £192 at saleroom level, giving a midpoint near £130. 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.
