35mm RF
an early prewar 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 minature speed graphic
these were made from 1939-1945
has the bakelite lens board
when graflex introduced the graflok back in 1950
they sold upgrade backs for the earlier cameras
you can tell this is one from the flash socket on the top left of back
this was a lot easier than the spring kit they sold that held the roll film back on
as it allowed you to focus then remove the ground glass panel & fit the rollback
the camera is pretty nice - focal plane shutter light tight & works on the speeds
bellows looks good with a light
the metal spring hood - care is needed when erecting it

$100 plus $19.50 priority mail shipping in he us

For anyone considering this camera...

I have one of these with several lenses. They are just wonderful 6x9 shooters. There are many lenses available, people are still making new straps and lensboards, and you can shoot both sheetfilm (still made) and rollfilm with the Graflex RH backs (which are widely available).

At $100, this is good value.
