I received this film holder a while back with a 5 X 7 camera I had purchased. I have not seen one like it before and am wondering if a forum member can kindly tell me what it is.
It is a standard 5 X 7 size and one side has the normal raised strip that fits in the camera light trap. When the dark slide is removed there is a sheet of glass where the film would normally go. When the other side is opened there is a thin wooden plate with 2 springs on it and the other side has black felt on it. It looks professionally made and the glass is an exact fit. Any information gratefully received.
