Suzuki Opticalco. Camera Lite (Model B Gold)

The Suzuki Opticalco. Camera Lite (Model B Gold) is a Japanese-made novelty subminiature camera presented in a gold-finished lighter-style body. It belongs to a small group of post-war Japanese spy/novelty cameras designed to disguise photographic function within everyday objects.

Evidence on what this camera is worth is limited to a single UK auction-hammer result: an example sold for £1,100 in November 2007 (a wholesale saleroom price excluding commission). With only one data point, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a reliable market median, and condition, completeness and presentation case are likely to drive the price a clean example sells for.
