Message: I have a Lord IV B camera made by Okaya Optic in Japan. This dates back to the early 1900s I think. Can anyone suggest where I can start researching this manufacturer and how much this camera is worth? I'm new to this collecting business.
Thanks.
Jeanette

Message: According to McKeown 2001/02 issue 11th ed. titled "Price guide to Antique & Classic Cameras", p.512 Okaya Lord IV A and Lord IV B are both 35mm cameras with coupled rangefinder with 2.8/40 Highkor lens fitted in Seikosha-MX shutter and approx. produced in 1955-1956. Hope this helps ... good luck !
