Graflex

3 Cell Flash

With the proliferation of electronic flash in the 1970s these flashes were thrown out and sold in garage sales in great numbers. George Lucas happened to need a lightsaber prop for his Star Wars movie, these were easily available! That is not the case anymore! Star Wars fans have placed a huge demand on the market, and now the orignal graflex flashes are hard to find and can command hundreds of dollars on ebay! The three cell flash picuted above is the one that is the most popular.
There is a two cell flash which looks very similar except that the bottom is slightly shorter, and there is anouther type of Graflex flash which takes 3 D batteries, but is not like the one picuted above, and is not worth nearly as much so look carefully if buying on ebay! Some Heiland and MPP flash units can be worth something to Star Wars fans, but the Graflex 3 Cell seems to be the most popular.
