O.T.A.G. Amourette
The O.T.A.G. Amourette is a collectible camera that surfaces in specialist photographica auctions. With no detailed specification or variant data on file, the model is primarily encountered through dedicated collector sales rather than the mainstream used market.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the O.T.A.G. Amourette have ranged from £120 to £570 across the four recorded sales on file, with a median of roughly £320. The data set is thin and dated — all four saleroom results fall between 1999 and 2009 — so today the price any single example sells for depends heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
