I don't know if anyone here can help me, but I am trying to find out some information on a small Graflex camera that I own. I cannot find any model numbers on the camera. When it is closed, it is about it is about 5 1/2" wide, 2 1/2" deep, and 3 1/2" high. There is a door on the front that hinges on the bottom edge and brings the lense out when you open it. The lense is a B&L Tessaric f:3.5 Graflex - Rochester USA 78. The top opens and a cloth tube comes up that you look into to focus. The cloth tube has a small round maginfying glass that can be raised for focusing. It uses 120 film. On the inside of the top cover is a chart with a slider to select F. No. and Speed. At the bottom of that chart it says "COPR. 1932".

The back and bottom are one piece that you take off to load the film. The number 201097 is stamped on the inside of that piece. The body is black. The only markin gon the outside is a yellow square with black letters "US-CE-C".

I have digital pictures that I could send someone if that would help. Any information you could give me would be much apreciated.

Thanks
