Can't really tell for the first one. I quick search on ebay shows an average price of around $65-$75 for the Graflex. I'd be interested in buying it from you.

I have my Canon AE-1, Ftb, and Yashica Mat-124 in a curio cabinet,
along with a Kodak No.1 folding camera.

Depends somewhat on the condition - if they have any operational issues, and exactly what those problems are.

Oh, I don't collect them.
The Kodak No. 1 someone gave me, the other three are my old cameras.
Someday I will get rid of them, or my kids will.

Same model. No way same one cuz Amelia’s is at the bottom of the Pacific.
She is the great and legendary “First Lady of the Air”.

Interesting cameras for display.
Are they high value? No.
Would they help fill in a collection of old non-high value cameras? Definitely yes.

I would guess for display. I have a box of those cameras I purchased to put on the mantle in our retirement home that was under construction a few years bacj but my wife was making plans at the same time and she won!

The Kodak Duo looks like a very early model and in that pretty rough condition might bring $30 - $40 to an interested collector.

A camera store near me has a case and ceiling shelves to display cameras of history. Might that be an option for you in your town?
