If you take one apart, it's possible there will be a mark on the ceramic portion, but that's far from a sure thing. Lots of companies used flambe...
It's not numbered? He uses view cameras, the largest being 12" x 20". That's a very big camera. I don't know what kind of an enlarger you would...

Modern, I would think. That's foamcore and it certainly wasn't around in the 19th C. That said, I have an 1809 engraving that someone mounted to...
