I don't know if this is permissible here so please move or delete if it isn't...
Our friend in Croydon told me today that he has secured the last of Fidelity and Lisco Film holders. Available In the sizes 10 x 8, 5 x 4, 5 x 7 also some 5 x 7 for 13 x 18 cm film. Unusually some of these have Metal Septum's and metal slides. I haven't seen these before.
They ain't cheap but are new and boxed, unfortunately in pairs. I bought a pair of 10 x 8 metal holders for £100.00 the pair - the last (single) 10 x 8 holder I bid for on the auction site sold for £60.00 secondhand.
I hope this info is useful for someone.

thx for this
our Croydon man has in the past been a little confusing in describing his 5x7 holders, they're 13x18's I believe and they take a slightly different size film to their close 5x7 cousins

Most of the 5 x 7 holders he has recently obtained are for the continental size 13 x 18 as you state, but he has got at least 4 that are proper 5 x 7 which is really the reason for my post as I recall someone asking (somewhere?) recently for this size. I don't think that any new film holders can be purchased now from anywhere unless Toyo are still manufacturing film holders.

Robert White still seem to have limited stock of genuine 5x7 holders, so now would be a good time to buy.
