Mint In Box 1910 Ticka Pocket Watch Spy Camera w/Enlarger, Film, Paperwork, More For Sale

Condition, condition, condition -- the \"3 C\'s\" of Collectibility. Well, I think I\'ve nailed every C this week, so make sure to check out my other listings after you look at this one. You\'ll find more than a half dozen mechanical, technological and musical antiques on the block, all of them in outstanding condition, and several of them being offered with their original boxes.
Here\'s a tiny, working ca. 1910 Houghton Ticka watch camera (it\'s approximately 2\" in diameter, literally no bigger than a typical pocket watch) with its original box, its original instructions, its original velvet carrying pouch, an original cassette of Ticka film, and its original schematic illustration. Also included with the outfit is a seldom seen Ticka enlarger/printer. The wood printer is in excellent condition, with its original glass carrying slide and its original box.
As you can see in the photographs, the condition of camera is close to mint. The shutter works, and there are no dings, no dents, no rust, just a single spot of pitting adjacent to the shutter lever, and you have to look to find it. The tiny chain that connects the lens cover to the camera body needs to be re-attached, but the camera is otherwise about as nice a Ticka as you\'ll ever find anywhere.
Boxes are in good condition, with moderate wear consistent with age and authenticity. There\'s a small hole in the back of the enlarger\'s box that was put there intentionally to accommodatethe arm of the printer, but there are no missing panels, and the litho on both boxes is in very good condition.
Please look at the photographs and consider them an integral part of the description. They tell the story much better than I can.That\'s about it.
