Klay Multiplying Plate Holder Outfit, P Diller

[johnp]

Hello -

Found this thing while cleaning out my mom's basement. Have no idea what it is or what it was used for. Looked around and saw 2 or 3 mentions in various places but not much information.

It's listed on ebay - I think that it is something that should go to loving hands, as it seems to be pretty cool.

P Diller - Klay Multiplying Plate Holder Outfit - from 1893(?)

Try searching large format photography, or view cameras (probably 8x10?). I think they're cool but don't know a lot about them to be of much help.
