It's got to be from a ((((())))) camera. Don't see them much, anymore.

The style and tapered edge make me think of a Deardorff V8. Is it 6"x6"?

The lensboard measures 5 1/8" x 5 1/8".

The style and color remind me of a Lotus, but I remember from the retail world...that the Lotus lens boards say Lotus on the back.

If its 6x6 inches its a generic board which fits the 8x10 Kodak 2D and All Metal View cameras, late Agfa/Ansco, Burke & James and some other 8x10 cameras. It will NOT fit a Deardorff because they have rounded edges. If its not 6x6 please post the size.

Richard, I posted the size yesterday....it is right above your post.

It is 5 1/8" x 5 1/8" and has square corners and the bottom has a tapered edge.

Well, I was going to say a 5x7 Ansco field camera. But the hardware looks modern, so it could be an old board that someone modified and did a good job of coverting it into the adapter board that it is now. Or it could be a more modern board but I don't know who made it if it is.
