yes

there was a small Graflex of the same size, so the back may have been interchangeable. They were very popular at one time, but i know the instant film for the 4x5 is no longer available - and i would expect the 2x3 disappeared even earlier

what a great camera to have passed down, I have never played with a baby press camera and i really couldn't resist taking pictures with it, but i might be a glutton for punishment when it comes to this part of history. Our club had its annual clam bake/gun show a few weeks ago, instead of displaying my modest field grade guns, i put out a history of cameras in the outdoors with vintage cameras and old advertisements. It was fun to do, just imagine a camera company these days advertising their product directly to hunters
