Blemished Graflex 3 Cell

Quality manufactured using the same methods and materials as The Folmer Graflex Corp and Graflex Inc in the 1920s - 1940s.  This flashgun main body features the details of its vintage counterpart.  This item is fully licensed, trademarked and stamped GRAFLEX®.  Complete your project, whether it be the base of your movie prop replica, an illuminated saber or as a working flashgun for your Graflex camera.  Accepts original vintage Graflex parts and modern blade holders and accessories made for a vintage.

Why Blemished?
To maintain the highest quality of our flagship Standard and Elite versions of our Graflex 3 Cell, we set aside parts that are slightly blemished.  Over the course of several batches, we are able to build these into blemished versions available for a limited time.  Blemishes are mostly slight and may include small nicks, light scratches, the occasional small impression and slight plating imperfections.  Given all of this, the product appears new and is in better condition and shape than 95% of vintages on the market.  Customers also frequently comment that our blemished product is better than competing unlicensed replicas.  Photos shown on this listing show examples of the blemishes possible and displays what the blemished item would look like with camera flash internals (not included) or a blade holder installed (not included).

What is Included?

  • Top Half, Clamp and Bottom Battery Tube (stamping is random, including blank)
  • Bunny Ears set and hardware (the rivet screw may include an allen, phillips or flathead for this version only)
  • Red Button (satin or bright finish chosen randomly)
  • Eye Thumbscrew (standard or folmer style chosen randomly)
  • Brass Pins set of 4 (long version, standard or folmer style chosen randomly)
  • Contacts set of 2 (long version)
  • Slide Switch assembly (set of 4 pieces)
  • Beer Tab assembly (set of 3 pieces)

What is Not Included?

Imperfection is Built into the Design
Vintage Graflex flashes vary greatly in their dimensions from part to part, and our replica will vary slightly from part to part.  The Graflex Shop is committed to building our replica within reasonable tolerances of an original, if not better.  This version still abides by this quality statement, with just a few minor blemishes.

Roger Christian Approved

When the Academy Award winning set decorator of Star Wars (1977) first saw our Graflex flashgun, he initially thought it was one manufactured back before the 1950s. He was astonished by the detail and the quality of what he was holding.

The GRAFLEX® is featured in Christian's Galaxy Built On Hope (2022). You can find more information here.
