3¼x4¼ RB Graflex Model B
Folmer Graflex Corporation, Rochester NY, 1923–1942.
Single Lens Reflex for glass plate, sheet film, and roll film with focal plane shutter speeds to 1/1000 sec. Barrel-mount lens (no front shutter) No. 32 Kodak Anastigmat f4.5 6-3/8 inch.
Shown with sheet-film magazine (another is on the camera), 2-sided glass-plate holder (slotted edges), and 4¼x3¼ Graflex Roll Holder 1922 Model, takes No. 51 Eastman Graflex film. This film holder has been adapted to use 120 roll film.
I don't know the actual date of this particular camera. It belonged to my Uncle Jack ("Boo") Woolf. I wish I had some photos that he had taken with it, but any surviving probably went to his children and grandchildren. The camera was given to me by his son. I shot a few test shots with Efke film:

I thought I had photographed this camera for my collection, but the only previous shots were:

(with the hood removed); and
