Hi all -
A year or so ago I bought about a dozen used 4x5 holders off the 'bay. As is typical of such things, they've largely sat in a duffel since then. I got around to pulling some today in hopes of an outing soon. One in particular, a Riteway 1264, had this written in what looks like Wite-Out on the bottom flap:

A little reading indicates that the 4750th Air Base Squadron was established in the early '50s, and reassigned in 1959/1960.
So I've got to ask - are these plastic Riteway holders actually that old? I guess I've never thought about when the transition from wood to plastic occurred in manufacturing...
