Dubroni 13x18 (outfit)
The Dubroni 13x18 (outfit) is a 19th-century French wet-plate camera produced in the 13x18 cm plate format and supplied as a complete outfit. Dubroni cameras are early photographic apparatus designed for in-camera processing, placing this model among the earliest collectible photographic equipment.
Sales data for the Dubroni 13x18 (outfit) is extremely thin, with only one recorded UK auction hammer result of £3,000 from May 2012. With nothing more recent to benchmark against, it is not possible to state what the camera is reliably worth today, though that single saleroom figure indicates the outfit sells for a substantial four-figure sum when a complete example surfaces. Any current value estimate would depend heavily on completeness of the outfit and condition.
