Yes. this is an excellent example of the negative carrier for a "F&S RB
Enlarging Camera"
The tilt top tripod head goes to what it says, a Crown Compact Stand.
While they had three legs they were usually called stands as they had
columns. They were something between the boxy studio stand and a
lightlweight folding tripod. The color and the name (Graflex Inc.) tells
me it was made post-'45. Earlier versions of this had breadboard ends
while this one is feathered- a less expensive process. This probably has
a casting on the bottom designed to fit a round tube. Other styles simply
have s 1/4 x20 threaded socket to fit a tripod.
The others I'm not sure of
