Nikon SP age and value

[zork]

I have an almost perfect condition Nikon SP with the 50mm f1.4 and 135mm f3.5.
I don't remember the date of purchase,but think I got it when it hit the market,
probably in 1958 or so ? ?
Any ideas of how I can date this. Any idea of the approximate value ?
Any/all input would really be appreciated !
Thanks
Zork

Your Nikon SP was built in 1957...approximate street value is $1200 to $1500 although mint examples with the original box could go over $2000

The 13.5cm lens sells for $50 -$100

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the info ! ! Thought it might be worth more than that. Guess I'll hang on
to it for another 50 years ! ! ! (hehe....what a concept)
