Up for auction is a vintage Graflex 4X5 Speed Graphic camera. It was purchased by my husband in the mid-70’s and used for a short while with the Polaroid back to take black and white photos and then, utilizing articles of ‘period clothing’ and a Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner treatment, he produced some very interesting old-fashioned looking, sepia toned photos (most of the selenium toner is still in the bottle). He lost interest after a while and the camera has been carefully stored since that time and, as is reflected in the photos, is in great condition, especially considering that it is 60 years old. The camera’s serial number indicates that the camera was manufactured circa 1952 and so it has a number of refinements lacking in the older model Graflex cameras. This camera still has the original leather holding strap (rather than a web replacement) but is starting to show its age a little and the Graflok back shows some wear but appears to be in excellent working condition. All the lenses look great and the camera overall seems to be in much better conditions than most others of its age. Carefully examine the photos and make your own judgements. As indicated, the camera has been stored for an extended period of time and consequently could probably use a good cleaning and tune-up. The camera comes with: · Top-mounted Graflex Viewfinder
