Vintage Rolleimarin Franke & Heidecke Hans Hass underwater camera housing

[MLA60]

I was given a vintage Rolleimarin underwater camera housing after a relative passed away that owned it. He was an avid scuba diver in the 1950's and did some underwater photography then. I've done some scuba myself and am somewhat familiar with the gear and have researched it some and learned about Hans Hass in the process.
The housing is in great shape and has its original carry bag, owner's manual and accessories. My question is, does this vintage equipment have a collector's value? While I find it to be very cool and interesting I would prefer to sell it to someone who has more of a use and interest in it than I have.
Thanks for any information.

Do you have the camera too, or just the housing?

That's awesome, no idea of the value at all, but would be awesome for someone like me that appreciated it

I did get a Rolleiflex camera, too but not sure if it's one that was used with the housing.

I noticed your post regarding the Rolleimarin case. It has always been my dream to own one and test my Rolleiflex camera underwater. If you're interested in selling it, could you please let me know your asking price? pls DM me.

Kind regards,
Attila

I cannot send DM's yet as I am still new on this site.
As of now I am still researching the housing and don't know what it's worth dollars wise.

Have you decided on your asking price?

If this one is no longer available, I have one with the camera inside.
