What it is
{"overview":"The Warwick Biokam is an early combined cine camera, projector and printer designed for 17.5mm film, dating from the late 1890s. With only a single data point, today's market value is difficult to pin down, and what a Biokam sells for now would depend heavily on completeness, condition and provenance.","buying_guide":"Given the age of the apparatus, prospective buyers should inspect the wooden bodywork, internal mechanism and any associated accessories carefully, and verify completeness against period references before committing.
