Not having seen one before, I bought this online thinking it was just an odd early Kodak. As soon as I saw it I realized that it HAD to have been made for Kodak by Graflex. All the hardware and operating principles are classic Graflex; some of the hardware even looks as though it would interchange with parts on my early Graflexes.
Mckeown's says it was made from '09 through '13, so Graflex was a part of Kodak at the time. I guess Kodak wanted a FP camera of their own, although it seems odd they did not just let Graflex market it.
Anyone know more about this camera? |

Only that they are hard to find and valued.
Yes it was made in the Folmer-Century Division of Kodak and there are a few patents that show this camera, and there are certainly a lot of similarites to the Graflex 1A and 3A. More than a few of these parts show up on a Speed Graphic.
