Those look kinda antique. Not sure how to load them as I don't see a flap at the bottom. I'm tempted to buy them anyway.

I think they're Plate Holders but possibly have film sheaths in them.

Fortunately I already have five good holders but I need a few more. I'll wait for newer ones, should come along eventually. I see the price for film has gone up. That catalog shows $.77 / doz. B&H has 3x4 listed at $68.00 for 25. I'll be cutting mine down from 4x5.

I did a search for 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 film holder on ebay in cameras and photo.

lots available at reasonable prices.

Most of what I'm seeing in this size (3.25x4.25) right now are wood holders. Prices seem to be scattered, and I'm not seeing anyone saying it was actually tested as light-tight...

As long as they are complete, no pieces chipped out they will be serviceable.
The loading flap hinge tape can be replaced with book binders tape if the hinge is bad.

I've been seeing 3x4 bag mags at only a few times the cost of a 2-sheet holder. Assuming they work and are or can be made light-tight, that seems a more cost-effective solution for actually shooting with the beast.
