Want to Buy 4x5 or 5x7 back for Ansco-Agfa Universal or Commercial View camera

[binglebugbob]

I'm restoring a circa 1938 Ansco Agfa wood (Universal? Commercial?) view camera. I'm still not sure which it is. I think the 4x5 and 5x7 models are actually the same camera and that both used a back with the same outer dimensions(?). I have a Graflok back I'd like to mount on a second back, but I don't want to damage the original 4x5 back I already have.

I thought someone in the group might have an Ansco Agfa parts camera with a usable back they'd part with. Doesn't have to be pretty, don't need the spring back or ground glass, but I would like to have the brass "attachment" hardware at the corners of the back so it can be mounted on the camera like the original. The mounting hardware might be difficult to duplicate.​

If you think you might have one, but aren't sure if it's the right one, I can send photos and dimensions​
