Default FA: Special 5X7 back for a large studio camera -- 3 pieces

This auction is for three items which fit together as a set:

A sliding carriage back for a large studio camera - Century or Folmer
& Schwing.
A 5 X 7 back which fits into the sliding carriage.
A "splitter" device which enables you to make two exposures on one
piece of 5X7 film, (for instance, two different poses).

I have one of these on my Century #10A studio camera. I believe it
will fit other large studio cameras, and it would also be handy if
you're building a LF camera or some other LF project.

The ground glass of the 5X7 back is marked so that if you use the
splitter, you can position each image. You can also use the back
without the splitter and have a single 5X7 image - your choice. I
imagine you could also remove the 5X7 back and install an 8X10 back.

The entire assembly is well-made of hardwood,(mahogany?), and in very
good condition except it is missing one small flat "clip" which holds
the 5X7 back onto the carrriage. This is no biggie - the back works
fine without it, but you could easily make one. The splitter could
probably use a touch-up coat of matte back spray paint, but it's not
critical.

The sliding carraige is built on a frame which is inserted into the
camera. It's OUTSIDE dimensions a 12.75" wide X 13.5" high. The
INSIDE dimensions are 11" X 11". The entire assembly is about 18"
wide by 13.5" tall.
