These are not pristine cameras but look very nice. Pristine and older series cameras are $2,000.00 each.
The solid, old world, construction is astounding.
The look is pure deco and the rarity and value is increasing.
The early models have no plastic and are a true example of mid century ‘by hand’ craftsmanship.
