SEE ALL PHOTOSBELOW& READTHE ITEM DESCRIPTION, SELLER POLICIES & INFORMATION

THIS IS A VERY NICE GRAFLEX SPEED GRAPHIC 4X5 LARGE FORMAT FOLDING PRESS CAMERA WITH 4 SHEET FILM HOLDERS. IT HAS THE GRAFLEX TOP MOUNT SPORT FINDER. THE CAMERA BODY HAS AN INTERNAL FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER. IT COMES WITH A KODAK EKTAR 127MM 4.7 LENS ON A SUPERMATIC SHUTTER WITH SPEEDS UP TO 400. THE LENS COMES WITH A METAL PUSH ON FRONT CAP.
I TESTED THE LENS SHUTTER BY FIRING IT ONCE AT ALL ALL SPEEDS. THE HIGH SPEEDS SNAPPED. THE SLOWER TIMED SPEEDS BUZZED THROUGH W/O HANGING UP. THE LENS GLASS IS NOT SCRATCHED UP OR FUNGUS ROTTED. THE LENS BODY IS NOT BROKEN OR ROTTED. THE LENS BOARD IS NOT BEAT UP, CRACKED OR WARPED. IT\'S CLEAN. THE FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER WINDS UP, COCKS AND FIRES. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ACCURATE THE FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER STILL IS, BUT IT SOUNDS VERY GOOD & SOLID. THE LENS FOCUS KNOB & RAIL BED MOVE MACHINE SMOOTH. ALL ADJUSTMENTS OF THE LENS FRAME ASSEMBLY (UP/DOWN - SIDE/SIDE) WORK FINE. NOTHING IS STRIPPED OUT OR BENT UP. THE LENS DOOR OPENS AND LOCKS CLOSED PERFECTLY. THE BELLOWS ARE CLEAN & SHINY BLACK. THEY ARE NOT RIPPED UP OR CRUMBLING. THE CAMERA BODY IS NOT BEAT UP, BENT UP, DENTED UP, CRACKED, LOOSE, WARPED UP, MODIFIED OR BROKEN UP. THE BLACK TRIM FINISH IS NOT RIPPED UP OR FALLING APART. THE HOOD FOCUSING HOOD POPS UP CRISP & LOCKS CLOSED TIGHT. THE GROUND GLASS FOCUSING SCREEN IS NOT CRACKED. THE WRIST STRAP IS STILL PERFECTLY INTACT & ROCK SOLID ON THE CAMERA. THE 4 FILM HOLDERS ARE CLEAN & COMPLETE. THIS IS TRULY A VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE OF AN EARLIER MODEL 4X5 SPEED GRAPHIC.
I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP, TAMPERED WITH OR RESTORED ANYTHING. IT\'S BEING OFFERED WITH NO WARRANTIES AS AN 80+ YEAR OLD GRAFLEX CAMERA EQUIPMENT FROM AN ESTATE. PLEASE NOTE: THIS DECADES OLD CAMERA WILL PROBABLY GO THROUGH RAPID CLIMATE, PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE CHANGES DURING PRIORITY SHIPPING. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ACCURATE THE SHUTTER SPEEDS WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION AS WELL AS THERE ARE IN FRONT OE ME NOW. I DO ASSURE ALL buyers THAT THE SHUTTER FIRED GREAT, EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AT THE TIME OF THIS LISTING. I HOPE THIS CAMERA GOES TO A GOOD GRAFLEX COLLECTION. IT\'S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE.

** NEVER A RESERVE **

ALL ITEMS I OFFER ARE FROM NUMEROUS EAST COAST ESTATES (MOSTLY FROM MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA). THEY ARE OBTAINED THROUGH CONSIGNMENT OR ESTATE LIQUIDATION PURCHASE. I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ESTATE PERSONAL PROPERTY CONSIGNMENT & LIQUIDATION LLC FOR 15 YEARS. I AM NOT A \"YARD SALER\" OR A \"PICKER\". YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS BROUGHT TO ME RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATES. I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS, POLISH UP ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY. I WANT buyers TO VIEW THEM AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO WHEN THEY CAME FROM THE ESTATES. I DESCRIBE ITEMS AS I AM LOOKING AT THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. IF I TEST THE FUNCTION OF A MECHANICAL ITEM, THE DESCRIPTION ADVISES OF WHAT THE ITEM IS DOING IN FRONT OF ME WHEN TESTED, NOT AFTER IT HAS BEEN OWNED BY THE BUYER. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE ITEM. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT\'S IN MINT CONDITION. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO.
THE ITEMS LISTED HERE ARE NOT BEING OFFERED LOCALLY AT THE SAME TIME. I WILL NOT END AN sale EARLY TO GET MORE MONEY FOR AN ITEM LOCALLY. ONCE AN ITEM IS UP & RUNNING, IT STAYS RUNNING UNTIL THE sale ENDS (UNLESS I MAKE A BAD DESCRIPTION ERROR & HAVE TO END THE sale TO FIX THE PROBLEM & THEN RE-LIST IT.)ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD TO THE WINNING buyer AT THE AMOUNT THEY WON IT FOR. I NEVER REFUSE COMPLETION OF A TRANSACTION BASED ON WHAT AN ITEMS SELLS FOR. (IE:IF A VALUABLE ITEM HAPPENS TO GO SUPER CHEAP, YOU GET IT CHEAP.)
MY sales ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD. MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN & PLAIN TO UNDERSTAND. I TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS. I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN HYPE WORDING OR CONFUSING FANCY LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS. I WANT BUYERS TO SEE SOMETHING AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO WHAT I AM SEEING WHEN THE ITEM WAS ACQUIRED. I DO NOT USE THE DISTRACTION OF OVER-FLUFFED ADVERTISING IN AN ATTEMPT TO CAUSE AN EMOTIONAL REACTION TO IMPULSE offer & THEN HAVE BUYER\'S REMORSE.
COLLECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. MY ITEMS WILL NOT DISAPPEAR PART WAY THROUGH THE sale. I CANNOT END sales EARLY FOR THE \"WHAT WILL YOU TAKE FOR IT NOW\" OR \"WHAT IS YOUR BUY IT NOW PRICE\" EMAILS. THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT sales TO FOLLOW THROUGH. SOMETIMES ITEMS DIE AND SOMETIMES THEY DO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OFFER. THAT\'S THE FUN OF AN sale. PLEASE NOTE:OCCASIONALLY, IF THE ESTATE REQUESTS, I DO USE THE \"BUY IT NOW OR BEST OFFER\" FORMAT. ALSO,I NEVER PUT A RESERVE ON ANY sale.RESERVESARE JUST A PHONY WAY OF TRYING TO SELL SOMETHING BY GIVING THE ILLUSION OF AN sale.
I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM.I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN AND/OR TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS AN ESTATE FINAL SALE. THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED.I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR: BUYER\'S REMORSE, FALSE or FRIVOLOUS COMPLAINTS MADE IN AN ATTEMPT TO MASK BUYER\'S REMORSE OR FALSE RETURN DEMANDS USING response INTIMIDATION.

I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN BROKEN BY THE BUYER, TAKEN APART BY THE BUYER, ALTERED OR TAMPERED WITH IN ANY WAY BY THE BUYER. I CAN OFFER NO WARRANTIES OR RETURNS ON MECHANICAL ITEMS OR WATCHES IN REFERENCE TO HOW LONG THEY WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE AFTER RECEIVED BY THE BUYER. I TEST ALL WIND UP TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES AS BEST AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LISTING THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I OBSERVE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO WAY TO PREDICT HOW LONG A VINTAGE/ ANTIQUE / PRE-OWNED MECHANICAL ITEM OR WATCH WILL CONTINUE TO WORK AFTER IT IS SHIPPED.
PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. JUST TO BE SAFE WHEN offerDING, PLEASE ASSUME THEY POSSIBLY DID NOT COME FROM SMOKE FREE HOMES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SMELLS \"OLD\" TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT \"SMELLS LIKE TOBACCO SMOKE\" TO SOMEONE. I CANNOT OFFER ANY RETURNS FOR AN ITEM THAT A BUYER SAYS \"SMELLS OLD\" OR \"SMELLS LIKE SMOKE\". MOST OF THE ITEM I OFFER ARE OLD. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN. SOME OF MY ITEMS SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY TOBACCO SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.
PLEASE REMIT PAYPAL PAYMENTS WITHIN 3 DAYS OF sale\'S END. I AM VERY FRIENDLY & VERY ACCOMMODATING, BUT NON-PAYING / NO CONTACT buyers DESTROY THE VALUE OF ITEMS. IF A WINNING buyer DOES NOT PAY FOR AN ITEM, I WILL HAVE TO FILE AN NON-PAYMENT CASE TO RECOUP THE FEES. I SHIP WITHIN 5 DAYS AFTER CLEARED PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED.
I ALWAYS TRY TO PACK MULTIPLE SMALL PURCHASES IN ONE BOX TO SAVE THE WINNING buyer A BIT ON THE SHIPPING/PACKING COST (AS LONG AS IT IS SAFE TO DO SO W/O RISK OF BREAKING ITEMS BY JAMMING THEM IN ONE BOX.)I NEVER STACK FULL SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER UNLESS THEY HAVE TO BE PACKED IN SEPARATE BOXES FOR SAFETY IN TRANSIT.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO UPS GROUND SHIPPING TO ALASKA, HAWAII OR APO ADDRESSES. ALL ITEMS SHIPPED TO ALASKA, HAWAII OR A U.S. APO WILL HAVE TO BE SENT VIA AIRMAIL. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES.THE UPS SHIPPING COST SHOWN IN MY LISTINGS IS FOR INSURED UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES, PRO PACKED BY THE UPS STORE. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT ANY LARGE ITEM AIRMAIL COST BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I ONLY SHIP ITEMS. I DO NOT DO PICK-UPS AT ALL DUE TO A HORRIFIC BUSINESS SCHEDULING.
FOREIGN BUYERS USING A USA 2ND PARTY MAIL FORWARDING COMPANY TO GET AROUND MY PROHIBITED COUNTRIES LIST TAKE CAREFUL NOTICE:THE INDICATED USA SHIPPING LOCATION IS THE BUYER\'S ADDRESS, NOT THE OVERSEAS 2ND PARTY LOCATION THE BOX WILL EVENTUALLY BE FORWARDED TO. I DO NOT PROVIDE ANY DISCOUNTS FOR FALSE / TRIVIAL / FRIVOLOUS \"ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED\" COMPLAINTS MADE IN A FRAUDULENT ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE SHIPPING COSTS AND/OR CUSTOMS FEES PAID FOR BY THE SELLER.
