John Wade discovers a surprisingly simple snapshot stereo camera

Robin Hood 3D outfit

LAUNCHED 1930s

PRICE AT LAUNCH £2-3 (guesstimate)

GUIDE PRICE NOW £70-80

Describing itself as ‘two cameras in one’, this is a bit of a rarity. Even rarer is the outfit, whose box shows two children in the act of doing what it says on the side: ‘Snap, develop and print your own photographs.’

The camera was made by Standard Cameras Ltd, of which little is known, other than that they were based in Birmingham and seem to have had links to with the Coronet factory that hailed from the same area.
