Hello Les,
On the site look under "Auction Results" then look for Lot 263,you will see this is missing,meaning the item didn't reach it's reserve price.(no idea what it went up too).
A couple of Rolleiflex's didn't either.

I would have gone to the auction but from past experience it's difficult to find a seat and I did'nt want to plough through all the other items to get to the Graphic.

I presume it's gone back to the owner,whoever that was?...as I mentioned before they were looking for £600-£900 (get your calculator out to see the dollar value).

I've often wondered what a very clean 5x4 Speed/ Crown (or smaller) would go at in a place like Christies or Sothebys auction.

Or would we have to wait another 50-years to get a real high value?.

Best Wishes,from London to all.
