Gy,
Why does that almost seem plausible? BTW Marilyn - get a 4X5 picture frame, the plastic snap-in glass type (MCS Industries) and use the single weight glass. Regular glass is too thick.

Marilyn,This is one of the many projects on my list of "Projects I'd like to do before I die".You obviously are one step ahead of me, since you already have the plate holder...I hate to say this but digital may catch up to me before I get to do Liquid Light on glass!Is there such a thing as Liquid Pixels on glass? ...-;)Happy day,Guy----- Original Message -----From: MarilynSent: Monday, July 10, 2006 7:07 PMSubject: Re: Film holder?Wow!

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************************************************************************************************
