ANTIQUE GRAFLEX RB SUPER D REFLEX CAMERAS, LOT OF TWO, black hardware and chrome trim/components, revolving back accepting 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" film both currently without backs, camera serial numbers 416174 and 416232, both equipped with Kodak Ektar f:4.5 152mm lenses, leather fur-edged viewing hoods. Produced 1941-1963. 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" x 7 1/4" cases.

Condition

Very good visual condition with age-related wear to cases of both examples, one more heavily tattered than the other, including some peeling to leather and corrosion/oxidation to metal especially the screws, and one seems to lack a metal mount on right side of body and also lacking top handle; mechanical parts of each appear to operate smoothly except aperture curtain has bunched up in one section, hood and bellows seem to seal properly and the mirrors produce a viewable but internally-dusty image; cameras have not been tested for functionality (see Catalogue Guarantee).
