The tilt thing is actually a tripod head accessory, but it could be made by Graflex, the company that manufactured the camera.

That is a real beauty. Are the metal parts nickel plated?
Does anyone know how to determine the manufacture date of the camera??

i was just up at sunrise photographing an ethanol factory south of sydney with a 2d. steam coming up like guizers from masses of pipes catching sun like lantern...hope they come out.
nice camera, does most shots, though i always seem to be maxing out the movements.

Very nice. After years of shooting with 4X5 and 8X10 (I still shoot 8X10) I have come to love the size and portability of 5X7. I aquired a Kodak 33A a couple years ago, and while it's is a tad larger than 4X5's that I have used, it is lighter than many of them. Bellows draw is only about 10" so that limits lens choice for me but...sometimes being limited is an aid to creativity
it's a beauty. I have an early 40s 8x10 2-D. Great fun to shoot with but be prepared for a lot of interruptions and questions. Now, why are you sitting here reading this. You should get out and shoot some film.

PS. Did I read that right, that Raptar is f6.3? It sounds like its a later coated version of the Series I Velostigmat and therefore convertible. But, at 11 1/2" it's already long-ish for the format.
