Wow!  Thank you, Guy.  That sounds fascinating and I'd love to try it.  Thank you for your help and suggestions.
 
Take Care,

Hi Marilyn,
It would seem that you have a 4x5 plate-holder.
If you go to your neighbourhood glass cutter, ask him to cut plates for you.
Get some LiquidLight and coat your glass plates.
Plan a nice composition.
Expose with your favourite 4x5 camera at ISO 6.
Process and keep as a beautiful glass negative transparency!
Regards.
Guy

Subject: Film holder?

Hello Everyone,
 
I hope you are all enjoying the summer.
 
While cleaning some 4 X 5 film holders (enough of digital for now - I'm going to make some cyanotype and gum prints),  I found one film holder that is different from all the rest and I'm not sure what it is for.
 
It is a 4 X 5 Folmer Graflex Corp item.  One edge states, "Graphic Plate, Pat. June 7, 1927."
 
Under the film's dark slide, on each side, there are frame-like inserts with a long, narrow spring on the back.  One side has a piece of glass in it, the other side doesn't.
 
Does anyone know what I have? 
 
I'd appreciate any suggestions.  Thank you.
 
Marilyn
