Similar, but that's not quite it.  The one my buddy found has a film format
with which I'm not familiar -- it appears to be 3.25 x 5.5", which borders
on "large format", although it's rollfilm.  If I measure the spool, the
metal rims (the body is wood) are 3.75" apart.  Anyone know what this
format is called?

The shutter confuses me; on the body it says Ilex, but the shutter dial
says Acme.

It looks to be in decent shape, with no aparent bellows leaks, and even has
a sturdy thick-leather carrying case.  It'd be fun if we could find film
for it...

Cheers,
