About three years ago an eBay seller sold a large camera collection belonging to his/her grandfather for hundred of thousands of dollars. Now the seller is listing a bunch more, including this rare 1959 Nikon F with cloth shutter curtain of which very few were produced.

This eBay auction closes Saturday at 8:45pm Pacific, and has already caught the attention of 14 bidders, with the high bid currently at $2,204. The seller notes that this particular gem was found in a sealed container labeled “Top Cameras,” and that’s likely an understatement according to Nikon Rumors who says this camera was the 87th to roll off the production linebased upon the serial number.

Nikon Rumors says only about 100 F bodies with this cloth shutter curtain were produced, so if this rare find is authentic it could be worth as much as your Ferrari Testarrosa. Happy bidding and good luck!
