Graflex Home Portrait Graflex
The Home Portrait Graflex is a large-format single-lens reflex camera made by Graflex, designed for studio portrait work with sheet film. It belongs to the family of reflex cameras Graflex produced in the early twentieth century, positioned at the professional studio end of the range when new.
Auction data for the Home Portrait Graflex is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result from 1998 recorded £402, which is a wholesale auction figure rather than a retail asking price. With only one data point on file there is no reliable median or current-year range, and today values depend heavily on cosmetic condition, completeness of the back and viewing hood, and whether an original lens is fitted. Buyers asking what one is worth or how much it sells for in 2026 should treat that historic figure as indicative only.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Home Portrait Graflex worth today?
Auction evidence is limited to a single UK hammer price of £402, so a precise current value cannot be given; condition, completeness and lens fitment will drive what an individual example sells for.
How much does a Home Portrait Graflex sell for at auction?
The only recorded UK auction sale in our data fetched £402 at hammer, excluding buyer's premium, which gives a rough wholesale reference rather than a retail price.
What should I check before buying one?
Look closely at the bellows, shutter curtains, mirror, ground glass and film back, since these are the components most likely to need restoration on a camera of this age.
