If you have a Crown Graphic made in 1941, it's worth it's weight in gold. ![](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) _________________ Glenn

I have a Crown Graphic 105mm w/ Kodak Ektar lens, heliar F:3.7.
1941. I have more information on how I figured out the date also flash attachments, instruction book and the original carrying case it came in.

Officially they didn't make Crown Graphic cameras (essentially a Speed Graphic without the focal plane shutter) until after WWII.
So you either have a Miniature Speed Graphic with the 105 Heliar
or
a custom made Speed Graphic without the focal plane shutter (yes they did make them)
Mini Speed prices have fallen lately, the Heliar is the perceived best, certainly the most expensive new, lens that could be had on a Mini Speed, but the Graphic (or worse Graflex) back limits it's value to shooters. If you have a replacement Graflok back then you probably have the most valuable Mini Speed on the market.
Even then I'd say it was a very good day to get $250 for it. Without the Graflok back things fall quickly. _________________ "In order to invent, you need a good imagination and a lot of junk" Thomas Edison |
