Yes, it is 6 1/2 x 8 1/2, I actually have one of those, mine is a Empire
State #2 with red bellows. You see plate holders from time to time at eBay
for these types of cameras. I bought a 5x7" back and some day I intend to
adapt that back to the camera. I quickly checked eBay and saw no holders
being sold at the moment. Here is the closed auction for one of those
cameras: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1308191603
