your was part of a huge batch of 4500 cameras that were started 12/2/47.
I'd lay odds yours was made in '48 since you about halfway through the
batch.
If the film holder looks abou the size of a Mamiya RB 67 back then it went
to a mini. they did make knob wind 23s for the 4x5 but there was a big
flange around the holder to allow it to fit the back of the camera.

Thanks Les!
I figured the back was for a mini, because it doesn't have that flange you
mentioned. I guess the guy that had it before me picked it up thinking he
could use it and never did - at least not with this Speed.
Regards, Pete
