What it is

{"overview":"The Doryu 2-16 is a Japanese subminiature camera produced by Doryu Camera Co. in the 1950s, styled in the form of a pistol or pistol-grip device and using 16mm film. Values at saleroom level today are highly condition-sensitive and driven by rarity and completeness of accessories, so what a Doryu 2-16 sells for can vary widely between examples.","buying_guide":"Because production was small, buyers should check that the camera is complete with its original flash\/cartridge components, as missing parts are effectively irreplaceable.

Questions

Why is the Doryu 2-16 so valuable?

Its value reflects very limited production in 1950s Japan and its unusual pistol-form design, which together make it scarce and sought after by subminiature and novelty camera collectors.
