I love Film/Analog Cameras

currently I have 15 film cameras 7 of which are Home made Pinhole cameras. and at the moment I have been researching and restoring/repairing a 1950's Italian 35mm camera with German shutters, made by a camera CO. in Rome by the name of Gamma (on the lens it says GAMMER). The camera is called an Atlas and was made between 1953 and 1955 along with 2 others, Alba and Atom. Production of these cameras was halted prematurely and because of this and the price of other Gamma cameras ( Gamma Perla II currently going for 552.00 USD and a Gamma I currently going for 2,070 USD both on ebay) leads me to wonder if I have something of value. I'm sure it must be a scarce/rare camera but as of yet I don't know the value of it.

if there are any other camera collectors out there who have one of these or know anything about this one I would like to hear from them.
