Can you ID this camera? Contax or Nikon? Something else?

As I sit here looking at it, I think it's a Contax IIIa with a Sonnar 1.5/50. I'm guessing the photo is vintage 1960 or a bit earlier.

Well... If you search google images for Nat Cole, you'll find an autographed picture of him holding a Contax with a Sonnar (I think) in an ever-ready case. Or try this:
