Simons Sico
The Simons Sico is a rare collector-grade camera that surfaces only occasionally in specialist UK auctions. Public reference data on this model is limited, so detail beyond its appearance in dedicated camera salerooms is scarce.
At UK auction the Simons Sico has changed hands at hammer prices from £3,000 to £4,500, with only two recorded results between 2004 and 2007 — these are wholesale saleroom figures rather than retail asking prices. Given how thinly it trades, what a Simons Sico is worth today depends heavily on the specific example offered, and a fresh sale could materially reset the price expectation.
Sales History
