Graflex "Bag Mag," Cut Film Holder, circa 1925

Summary

This Graflex aerial camera magazine holds multiple sheets of film. Film sheets are loaded into the metal body of the magazine. After making an exposure a lever slides towards the leather bag; the film shifts into the attached bag and then up into the stack of film sheets. Safe from further exposure by light, the film remains here until processing.
