Rollei Rolleiflex 4x4 Post-War Baby (black)

The Rolleiflex 4x4 Post-War Baby (black) is a twin-lens reflex camera made by Rollei for 127 roll film, producing 4x4 cm square negatives. Introduced in the post-war era as a smaller counterpart to the 6x6 Rolleiflex, the black-finish version was positioned as a compact TLR for enthusiast photographers.

UK auction hammer prices for this model are thin on the ground, with recorded saleroom results ranging from about £74 to £160 and a midpoint around £120 — wholesale levels before commission, not dealer asking prices. With so few data points the figure is indicative only, and in today's market condition of the shutter, viewing screen and leatherette is what drives what a black 4x4 Baby Rolleiflex is worth. Clean, fully working examples tend to sell for more than the median, while cosmetically tired bodies pull the price down.
