Vevers Phoebus
The Vevers Phoebus is a British-made camera produced by Vevers, a UK manufacturer. It is sought today primarily by collectors of British photographic apparatus rather than working photographers.
Public auction data for the Vevers Phoebus is thin: the only recorded UK saleroom result we have is a single hammer price of £144 from October 2017, so any current sense of what one sells for today rests on that lone data point. With so few comparables, the worth of a Phoebus in 2026 is highly condition-dependent and a fresh listing could easily move the established price either way at auction.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Vevers Phoebus worth today?
On the only UK auction record available, a Vevers Phoebus sold for a hammer price of £144 in October 2017; with just one data point, current value is best treated as a rough guide rather than a firm market price.
How much does a Vevers Phoebus sell for at auction?
The single recorded UK saleroom result is £144, so that figure is the only evidence-based price reference; condition and completeness would shift any future result up or down.
Is the Vevers Phoebus a rare camera?
Public sales records for the Phoebus are very scarce, which suggests limited turnover in the UK auction market rather than a high-volume collectible.
