What it is
{"overview":"The Zion Simili Jumelle is an early French-made jumelle-style stereo\/detective camera, a body format produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and styled to resemble a pair of binoculars. Condition, completeness of plate holders and the state of the shutter all materially affect value, and at saleroom level a clean, working example would be expected to lead the market while incomplete bodies sell for considerably less.","buying_guide":"Inspect the wooden body and leatherette covering for shrinkage, splits and lifting, and check the bellows (where fitted) for light leaks. Confirm the shutter fires at its marked speeds and that any internal plate-changing mechanism still cycles cleanly; missing plate holders and damaged ground-glass screens are common and reduce value.

Questions
What affects the value of a Simili Jumelle?
