The Sands & Hunter Tailboard Camera is a 19th-century British plate camera of the tailboard type, named for its hinged rear board that drops down to allow the bellows to extend for focusing. Sands & Hunter was a London photographic supplier active in the late Victorian era, and tailboard cameras of this kind were used with glass plates for studio and field work.

With only two recorded UK auction hammer results, both at £262, the available data points to a narrow wholesale band rather than a reliable median; clean, complete examples with original bellows and plate holders tend to anchor the upper end of that figure. As of today in 2026, what a Sands & Hunter Tailboard Camera is worth at saleroom level depends heavily on completeness, bellows condition, and whether period lenses or plate holders are included. Buyers asking how much one sells for should treat £262 as indicative rather than definitive given the thin sample.
