Tougodo Optical Stereo Hit
The Tougodooptical Stereo Hit is a stereo film camera, a format that captures paired images for three-dimensional viewing. It belongs to the mid-20th-century category of compact stereo novelty cameras produced in Japan.
UK auction hammer results for the Stereo Hit are sparse, with only two recorded sales: £105 in 2002 and £800 in 2007. Because these are wholesale saleroom prices rather than retail, and the dataset is thin and dated, today's value is difficult to pin down, and condition plus completeness of any original case or viewer will drive what this camera sells for.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Tougodooptical Stereo Hit worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record, prices have ranged from around £110 to £800 at hammer, so the value sits broadly within that band depending on condition and completeness.
How much does a Stereo Hit sell for at auction?
Recorded hammer prices are £105 and £800, giving a midpoint near £450, but with so few data points any individual sale can fall well outside that range.
What affects the price of a Stereo Hit?
Working paired shutters, clean lenses, and the presence of original accessories such as a stereo viewer or case are the main factors that lift the price this camera can achieve.
