Toyo-View Compendium Lens Hood for 4x5, 5x7, 8x10 Toyo view cameras

Toyo-View Compendium Lens Hood for 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 Toyo-View cameras
The Toyo-View compendium lens hood "is essential for the elimination of extraneous light and flare, which can seriously deteriorate image contrast and sharpness"  -Toyoview.com
I used to think that lens hoods were to simply look cool, but after shooting with and without, I realized that they are essential.  I even use them indoors within studio settings.

This Auction
This lens hood probably has many great storys to tell.  It is not light tight as camera bellows would be, however it still functions well as a lens hood, which does not need to be light tight, especially considering the fact that 1/3 of its sides are open.  I imagine there could be a setting where this is required, however, this hood only has ever so slight pinholes of light showing in the crevices of the folds and corners.  It is obvious that the bellows has been repaired at some point. The movements are nice and tight to hold the desired position
Please review all of the photos which are overexposed to show the details.
