Going thru my moms estate, I found a camera that belonged to my grandfather who worked for Kodak in NYC in the early 1920-30's. I found a Folmer Graflex Speed Graphic Curtain aperture. I have no use for it but do wonder of its value and the best way to get it to a collector who would appreciate and value such an item.

Yes, I'm very suprised also that no one has answered you in that half hour!

I would suggest you do a little work yourself. The first thing you have to do is find out exactly what kind of camera you now own.

All that information is available right here on this web site.

As far as worth? That all depends on what model, condition, accessories and the current market.

Once you know what model you have, you could do a search on ebay to find average costs of such things.

No one can really give you the info you request and so patiently waited for. Do the research yourself since you are the only one that can actually see the camera.

And I also hope it finally finds itself in the hands of someone who will truly appreciate it!
