The Nicca Tower Type 3 is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera from the 1950s, sold in the United States under the Sears Tower brand. Nicca produced Leica-screw-mount rangefinders aimed at photographers who wanted a Barnack-style body at a lower price than the German originals.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Tower Type 3 have ranged from £69 to £190, with the limited sales data sitting either side of a roughly £130 midpoint. Results today are highly condition-sensitive at saleroom level, and the older 2004 Christie's result shows that provenance and presentation can lift what a Tower Type 3 sells for well above the price a worn user-grade body now commands.
