What it is

The Nicca Snider 35 is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera from the post-war era, produced by Nicca Camera Works of Tokyo, a maker known for Leica-derived screw-mount bodies. It was a low-volume model aimed at the same enthusiast market as Nicca's other rangefinder offerings.

Given the rarity, prospective buyers should treat any example as a collector item and inspect the shutter curtains, rangefinder alignment and top-plate engravings carefully, as service support for obscure post-war Japanese rangefinders is effectively nil and parts must be cannibalised from donor bodies. Provenance and original accessories materially affect what the camera sells for, so request detailed photographs and any prior auction or collection history before committing.

Questions

Is the Nicca Snider 35 a rare camera?

Yes — its near-total absence from UK auction records over more than two decades indicates very low surviving numbers in circulation, which is the main driver of its value.
