I got this camera for $60 on eBay recently. Out of curiousity, I looked up the original price in the 1916 Graflex catalog, and it was $88. I looked up a conversion for 1916 dollars to 2010 dollars, and found that $88 in 1916 would be about $1600 in 2010! Then I converted 2010 $60 to 1916 $ and it came up as about $2.80. I think I got a deal, but I will tell you later when I get the first photos out of this cuddly little dude.
It has Morroccan leather on a Mahogany wood frame and box. I am in the midst of lots of information swirls about it on various sites and in email, and have stopped just short of giving it a name as a member of the family.
