Extremely Rare : Zany Subminiature, Spy camera in working condition by Nihon Seimitsu
Shutters works fine on different speed, but cannot guarantee any accuracies .
Low serial number, and this model has NSK abbreviation.
Camera size : less than 3 inches wide and little less than 1.5 inch high , weight around 5.17 ounces
Camera size : little less than 76mm wide and little less than 38 mm high , weight around 146.6 grams
interesting fact : in McKeowns camera catalog , picture of the camera has serial 0865. The one I am selling has serial number lower - 0817
I have spend several weeks to find more info about camera. Not much available. In June 1997 one camera was sold at Christie auction for 1840 GBP or $2359 US dollars. 20 years ago.
this camera is like one of those cameras , when everyone heard about it, but never saw it. Like rare Leica , or Monet painting, or Stradivarius violin - with every year price is going only up.
Shaped like a small Leica, better build than many of the similar looking subminiature of the period it has an optical viewfinder and shutter speed selection by a knob on the front of the camera. Not very common in Japan, and almost unknown to the rest of the world.
Super rare . For many collectors , it could be once in a lifetime opportune.
To take a picture, you must wind knob left , and then return knob to original position.
to remove bottom please , person must align bottom knob with the dot.
