When was the Grafmatic holder introduced? I have two of these and I really like them for my two Graflex cameras and for my 4X5 Fotoman camera

Any advice about how to bring bent septums back to usable condition ?
I have five who need attention.

Thanks.

I use a butter knife that's just thick enough to fill the slot, so I can gently coax the kink out without collapsing the slot.
