What it is
{"overview":"The Houghton Ticka, Focal plane model is a British-made subminiature camera in the Ticka family, distinguished by its focal-plane shutter rather than the simpler shutter found on the standard Ticka. As of 2026, what a Houghton Ticka focal plane model is worth at saleroom level depends heavily on completeness, condition and provenance, and a fresh appearance could sell for materially more or less than that historic figure. Check that the watch-style body, winding key and viewfinder are present and matched, and look for the original case and instructions, which materially affect value.

Questions
Why is the focal plane Ticka more valuable than a standard Ticka?
The focal-plane variant was produced in far smaller numbers than the standard Ticka, so collector demand pushes its price well above the more common watch-style model.
