Premierinstrumentco. Kardon (Civilian)

{"overview":"The Kardon (Civilian) is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced in the United States during the late 1940s by Premier Instrument Co. With only a handful of results to draw on, what one of these sells for in 2026 depends heavily on cosmetic condition, completeness of the original lens, and whether the rangefinder and shutter are still working — clean, functional examples sit at the top of the range while incomplete bodies are worth considerably less.","buying_guide":"Inspect the cloth focal-plane shutter for pinholes and capping, check the rangefinder for clear, aligned patch contrast, and confirm the screw-mount lens is the correct matched optic since mismatched pairings reduce value.
