This is far more than a Graflex camera body—it is an unusually complete press photography outfit that appears to have remained together for generations. Complete Speed Graphic kits with this level of original documentation, accessories, filters, rangefinders, cases, and factory paperwork have become increasingly difficult to find.
Because limits listings to 24 photographs, not every accessory could be pictured individually. Everything shown in the photographs and described in this listing is included in the sale.
The camera will be carefully packed and shipped fully insured.
