What it is

{"overview":"The Riken Optical Golden Steky is a subminiature camera using 16mm film, produced in Japan in the early 1950s as a gold-finished variant of the Steky line. With only one data point on file, today's value cannot be reliably stated as a range, and condition, completeness of case and accessories, and the integrity of the gold finish would heavily influence what an example sells for now.","buying_guide":"On any Steky-family subminiature, inspect the shutter for sticking at slow speeds, check the wind mechanism, and look for corrosion or pitting under the decorative finish.
