The RB Auto is the only Graflex with this design. The other clue is the bed which is hinged at the bottom, other Graflexes the front standard is on a track or rail that extends from the main body. | ||

Or 3.25" x 4.25" RB Auto. Because of the ski jump curve in front of the hood, probably 1917 or later. Steve | ||
