Return To Story

The plate holder holds plates that measure eleven inches by eleven inches (11" x 11") or smaller with the use of different size plate inserts. The inserts found with this camera are for 6.75" x 9.75" and 5" x 7". The plate holder has a "handle" on the upper right side that has a brass plate with precise size markings, which are used to measure how far the holder is inserted into the back, to assist in the exact placement of the multiple images on the glass collodian covered plate.
