Nicca Nippon
The Nicca Nippon is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera produced in the post-war era by Nippon Camera Works (later Nicca Camera Co.). It was built in the Leica screw-mount tradition that defined much of Japan's early 35mm camera output.
Sales data for the Nippon is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2003 reached £375, which gives an indication of value at saleroom level rather than a reliable current market price. With only one data point, today's worth depends heavily on condition, completeness and buyer interest, and any quoted price should be treated as indicative only.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Nicca Nippon worth today?
Auction evidence is limited to a single UK hammer result of £375 from 2003, so a current value cannot be reliably established without more recent comparable sales.
How much does a Nicca Nippon sell for at auction?
The only recorded UK auction sale in our data sold for £375 at hammer, excluding buyer's premium; this is a wholesale saleroom price rather than a retail asking price.
Why is the price range so uncertain?
With just one verified sale on file, there is no median or range to quote, and condition, completeness and provenance will move the price significantly either way.
