Nicca camera.  Don't get too excited, this isn't the 5L or even a
Nicca III.  This is a cheap 35mm camera of a type that were often
given away in promotions, styled to look like a SLR, but actually a
viewfinder camera with an "Optical Lens" (is there any other kind?)
50mm f6.3.
The styling makes it look like a fabulously expensive SLR, right down
to the fake Japanese inspection tag.  Several of these were made with
the names of prestige, but defunct companies, such as Weston.  This
one is badged Nicca.  An amusing shelf trophy for a Leicaphile, as
this is named after one of the more collectible Leica copies.  $10
plus shipping.
