Graflex Auto Graflex Junior
The Graflex Auto Graflex Junior is an early 20th-century American single-lens reflex roll-film camera, part of the Graflex line of folding-bed SLRs aimed at amateur and press-adjacent users. It was positioned below the larger Auto Graflex models, offering a smaller negative size for photographers who wanted reflex viewing in a more portable package.
Sales data for the Auto Graflex Junior is extremely limited, with one recorded UK auction hammer result at £40 in July 2025. As of today, that single saleroom data point suggests entry-level wholesale value for an unrestored example, and what an Auto Graflex Junior is worth in 2026 depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter function and completeness of the focusing hood.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Graflex Auto Graflex Junior worth today?
Based on the single available UK auction record from 2025, an Auto Graflex Junior sells for around £40 at hammer, though this is a thin data set and the price could move significantly with condition or working shutter.
Is the Auto Graflex Junior a usable camera or a display piece?
Most surviving examples are bought as collector or display pieces, but a Junior with a functioning shutter and light-tight bellows can still be used; the low recorded sale value reflects that buyers are not paying a working-camera premium.
Why does the price seem so low compared with other Graflex cameras?
Larger press Graflex bodies and Speed Graphic models attract stronger demand, so the Junior tends to sit at the lower end of the Graflex market on the basis of the limited auction evidence available.
