Asahi Pentax Sears Tower 26
The Sears Tower 26 is a 35mm SLR sold under the Sears Tower badge, a US department-store brand that rebadged cameras built by Japanese manufacturers for the American market in the mid-twentieth century.
UK auction activity for the Sears Tower 26 is thin: a single recorded hammer result from late 2025 sold for £60 at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). With only one data point available in 2026, that figure is the best current reference for what the camera is worth, though prices today can move either side of it depending on cosmetic condition and whether a working lens is included.
