Seems to be some kind of contact printing frame or plate holder, but I'm not sure how it's used. Fancier than any I've ever seen...

last photos, showing the one marking on it
I'd guess a plate holder.
What are the dimensions?
the glass in it is 11 3/4" x 9 3/4"
the darkslide is also hinged in 2 places, which i've never seen before in a holder
I have a bunch of smaller plate holders from British plate cameras that are hinged like that. Mine slide in/out and are two-sided so they don't have the cool-looking spring clamps like yours does.
I wonder if it is a plateholder designed to double as a contact frame?
One man's Mede is another man's Persian.
Thanks for the help...it's definitely the prettiest, most overengineered holder I've ever seen
I suspect that would make a cool printing frame if you are into alt printing.
