Roger:
After reading the links you've generously provided, I do believe you're
right about the "quarter-plate" format. Thanks.

Note that the Graflex quarter-plate camera had four possible backs/films,
including:
. Graflex Film Pack Adapter that took a daylight-loading film pack with 12
exposures (9cm x 12 cm = 3 1/4" x 4 1/4") (last made in early 1990's)
. Graflex Roll Holder holding a special six-exposure roll film (obsolete?)
I expect that the negs came from one of the above.

The key point here is the frame numbers. It was customary to cut roll
film into single frames and pop them in a little glassite bag with
the prints, at this time, especially with negs this size where the
standard print would be a contact print.
It's a big roll though - I'd guess Kodak 122 - as used in the old
Autographic folders or something of similar size. Not what a pro
would use though - are they professional shots?
