Just got in my crown graphic...in it's very old case. It's got a lot of misc. stuff with it. Apparently, the previous owner liked polaroid.
It has what looks to be a roll film polaroid back, complete with wooden box focusing aid, a 545 type back and what looks to be very similar to the polaroid back used on my old graflex xlsw...except with no apparent means of attaching it to a camera.
Also along for the ride is a flash set up, 5 film holders (2 wooden and in bad shape) and an unopened box of Ektachrome film...expired in 1969 (E3 processing anyone?).
The camera looks good. It needs some cleaning here and there, but seems light tight and functional. I've even figured out the movements.
I wonder what ancient ektachrome would look like cross processed in black and white chemicals? :-)
