Graflex No.1A

The Graflex No.1A is an early-twentieth-century roll-film folding camera in the No.1A format class, taking 116-size film. It sat in the consumer end of Graflex's range when new, aimed at general snapshooters rather than press or studio users.

Evidence for what a Graflex No.1A is worth today is thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result on file is a single 1998 Christie's sale at £23, which is wholesale saleroom level and excludes commission. With just one data point, there is no meaningful range or median to quote, and the price a clean example sells for in 2026 should be treated as indicative only.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Graflex No.1A worth today?

The available UK auction record is a single hammer price of £23 from 1998, which is too little data to give a reliable current value or price range.

How much does a Graflex No.1A sell for at auction?

Only one verified saleroom result is on file (£23 hammer, Christie's 1998); a current sale price for a clean example cannot be projected with confidence from a single historic data point.

Can you still use a Graflex No.1A?

It was built for 116 roll film, which is no longer manufactured, so practical use today requires respooling 120 film onto original 116 spools.
