Hi Everyone...
Need to pick your brains for a moment. A friend asked me over to look at some of his stuff this evening, and help him determine what he has. One of the cameras is somewhat of a mystery.
From what I can tell, it looks like a Kodak Number 4 Pocket folding camera. As I understand it, this bugger made 4x5 images on 123 film. The interesting thing about this one is that it has a Graflex Graphic back on it. Apparently it can use sheet film instead of the 123 roll film.
It has a B&L Rapid Rectilinear on it, and comes with a Kodak (B&L also?) Automatic shutter on it (shutter speeds of 1,2,25,50,100,B&T).
I haven't been able to find anything on the internet about this bugger. Is this something that was custom made, or did this camera exist as a normal option on the Number 4 "Pocket" cameras?
Also, any idea of worth?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Will try to get some pictures up in a bit.
