Watson Stereo Tailboard

{"overview":"The Watson Stereo Tailboard is a wooden tailboard-style stereo plate camera, a 19th-century field-camera design used to capture paired images for stereoscopic viewing. Condition of the bellows, woodwork and any original lenses or plate holders has a significant effect on what these wooden stereo cameras sell for at saleroom level, and a one-off result from over twenty years ago should be treated as indicative rather than a current price guide.","buying_guide":"On a wooden tailboard stereo camera, inspect the bellows for pinholes and corner splits, check the mahogany body and tailboard for warping or cracked joints, and confirm that both lenses and shutters (where fitted) are present and matched.
