Rollei Rolleiflex 4x4 Baby (grey/black)
The Rolleiflex 4x4 Baby is a twin-lens reflex camera using 127 roll film to produce 4x4cm square negatives. It is the compact counterpart to Rollei's 6x6 Rolleiflex line, and the grey/black finish is the post-war version introduced to differentiate the Baby from its larger siblings.
UK auction hammer prices for the grey/black Rolleiflex 4x4 Baby are thin on the ground, with recorded results running from £57 up to £138, producing a midpoint around £98. Because the dataset is small, what a clean example is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, working shutter speeds and the presence of the original case and caps, and results at saleroom level can move outside this range when a particularly tidy or tired body comes up.
