Wray Peckham Wray
The Wray Peckham Wray is a British-made camera produced by the Wray optical company of Bromley, England, a firm better known for its lenses than its bodies. It appears infrequently on the UK collector market and is of interest mainly to those documenting British camera manufacturing history.
With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result to reference, the Peckham Wray sold for £250 at saleroom level in March 2026 — a wholesale figure achieved before commission. Today that lone data point is the best available guide to what a Wray Peckham Wray is worth, though thin trading volume means the next example could sell for materially more or less depending on condition and completeness.
