Totchka spy camera

[Membedeep]

Hello! Can anyone say something about this camera? There aren't many information on the web about it. How much do you think it is worth? Or how much would you pay for one?

I have found one for sale and I have to make an offer.

Thank you!

If you find by Tocka (Dot, translated) you'll find more. For me, format (either proprietary or Minox cassettes, depending if type a or b) would be deal breaker as I'm not into subminis. So, purely nostalgic (some say - collectible) thing.

Hello again! So, nobody, no information about this toy?

The lens is at a right angle compared to the Minox layout : is there a mirror in there - Tessina style ?

If I were you, I would contact Lens Exchange/Kiev USA or Leicatime

+ books by Michael Pritchard, Jason Schneider, McBroom ...
