you know those black bakelite cases the old Nikon screw mount lenses came in? I have one and I'm thinking of selling it. Are they worth anything?
NIKON KIU
Did you say Nippon Kogaku
Is this for a normal lens?
That makes a difference...either way it's worth 50-100 bucks

That much?? I used to keep my Summar in it so I would guess it's for a normal lens.

Some of the early ones came in metal cases...now that one is expensive 
The bakelite case is more common.

Thanks Kiu, glad I didn't toss it out when I sold the Summar.
