For Sale SOLD Compact Graflex

This 5x7 Compact Graflex was included in an estate that I acquired recently, so I really don’t know much about it. I think that it’s in decent condition considering that it’s a hundred years old. It doesn’t have a lens, the leather handle is missing and it’s missing one of the metal pieces that holds down the focusing track. The bellows are in fair condition, not light tight, but all there. The focusing hood is coming apart at the seams. I haven’t done anything with with the shutter or mirror, all I know is that they are present.
Hopefully someone can restore it or worse case use it for parts to get another one restored.
I’m asking $60, Conus shipping included.

Price drop, $60

hi main_cogg
does it have a film holder ?

I suppose a Graflex bag magazine would fit?
Wouldn't be quite so compact then...

No film holders, unless I’m completely confused. This is the only 5x7 camera in the lot and yet there were half a dozen “modern” Fidelity holders in another box. I don’t claim to know much about LF, but as far as I know they don’t go together.

Hi MC
The camera you have I believe only used 5x7 "bag magazines" ( you load up 12 septums and shuffle through them after ever exposure )...
If you find a weird contraption in one of your boxes that has a leather pouch on one end and is couple inches bigger than 5" x7"
and maybe 2 or 3" thick its a "bag magazine" it goes with your camera.

If it will take a bag magazine then it uses what are known as "Graflex" slotted film or plate holders as well.
The Fidelity shown is a "Graphic" holder.
