Todays ebay shows them going for $100 to a thousand dollars today. If it truly is a "Speed" it would make it more desirable since you could mount and use lesser expensive "Barrel" lens's. The focal plane shutter in the speed graphic becomes the shutter.
Don't give either of the cameras away as they do have a monitary
value. If there is a lens and shutter mounted on the graphic is even better. They no longer are manufacturing film holders so until some begins to make em the old ones are valuable.
Have fun,
