What is this!!?

Well, tell us what types of cameras you tended to carry in that bag. You say it was an older one; sounds like you haven't used it in a while. Might give us the needed clues...

The bag is from the studio days. We're talking mid 80's to late 90's. Mostly Nikon F3 and F4, and there were Mamiya's C and 645 series around. Went to digital from my F5 in 2004. I probably used the bag a couple of times after those days, but really, I don't think these were related to the cameras per-se, but to supplies for them. Probably disposable retainers of some sort.

When I was working on sets I remember that this piece was not like that, it looked like the one you show in the photo.

Thanks Tom! I thought of that too, maybe for a smaller lamp filter, but these have plastic ends, will never work there, the heat would melt them.

I'm guessing something Polaroid related. Maybe some remnant from a pack film.

That may be... we used a lot of Polaroid stuff.

Could they be retaining clips for a soft box?

No, they're too small for that. (1 1/2" long)
