This became relevant to me in 1954 when first I lusted for a
Rolleicord, then $149.50 at local dealers (then including Jewelry shops
and department stores). As a full time student working only part time,
it took a while to save enough money, and by then the 'cord V had been
introduced. It was worth the wait. It was the only new Rollei I ever
owned and had a Xenar of brilliant performance, not quite matched by
the several Xenars passing in and out of my hands since then until my
present MX-EVS. I felt like kissing it. Still do, although it's long
gone.

I did two prices upgrades using a deflation inflation calculator that I found from a NASA site, from memory the index considers the prices variation for domestic apparatus in the USA from 1913 till an estimated index for 2009, and then: Rolleicord with eveready case $149.50(1954)=$895 (2006)
Rolleiflex 2.8C with everready case $309.50 (1954)=$1845 (2006).-
