I'm trying to identify the camera for which these mystery bag bellows were made. They came with an 8x10 Toyo G camera. But from their construction, they have nothing to do with that camera. Please see the attached photos.
As for dimensions:
Back Frame: Frame is made of wood, and they're 10 11/16" square for outside dimensions and 9 5/8" inside dimensions.
Back Cavities for Slides: This width of the top and bottom cavities on the back that receive the slides on the back of the bellows are 4.25" long.
Front Frame: 6 1/4" square outside dimensions.
As large as these bellows appear to be, they can't be for an 8x10, given the inside dimensions of the back frame. Seemingly, too small for an 8x10 and too bid for a 5x7? (Hmm.) Given that they're interchangeable, I'm thinking that the camera is not an antique. The bellows appear to be well made.
Anyway, any ideas that you have would be appreciated.
