Scovill View cameras

Scovill view cameras are large-format wooden field and studio cameras produced in the United States in the late 19th century, when Scovill Manufacturing was one of the leading American photographic suppliers. They were sold for both professional studio work and itinerant outdoor photography, using glass plates rather than roll film.

Sales data for Scovill view cameras is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 1999 sold for £218. With only one historic data point, today's market value is difficult to pin down, and what a Scovill view camera is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on the specific model, completeness of fittings, and condition when it next sells at auction.
