Long time [NR] contributor Ron Volmershausen sent me a note about this very rare Nikon F camera currently listed on eBay (last bid $2,204):
This listing on eBay is going to create a bit of a ‘stir’ amongst the collectors; the 87th Nikon F to roll off the production line, way back in 1959. The seller didn’t know what they had until a few eBay members started asking for more photos and info.
While early examples like this come up from time to time; this is one of the rarer examples as the body still has the original cloth-type shutter curtain… a feature leftover from the rangefinder days:
