I have a 1950's or so Minolta 16 spy camera my dad left me. It's in "Used" condition, not quite as good as the picture below. Is there a place I could find out what it's worth for insurance purposes? I see them online selling for everything from 9.99 to $400.00. How do I know what mine is worth?

Claiming a value now is one thing but if the camera were actually lost later you need to prove the value, or the insurance company will use their valuation tables instead (which they may still do, depending on your particular policy.)
Hopefully this link will work for the particular KEH page:
