Vintage Ilford M.C.M. Wedge in Case, Photography Darkroom Accessory

An M.C.M. Wedge manufactured by Ilford Limited. It’s a tool used in photography, likely to measure or control light exposure in the darkroom. The wedge consists of a strip of film or glass with varying densities of gray, allowing for controlled exposure. The item is housed in a green leatherette case with wear and tear, and a cream/white satin interior. It has a small metal clasp. The celluloid wedge features numbers along its edge, corresponding to the varying grey scale. The case has the words ‘M.C.M. WEDGE MANUFACTURED BY ILFORD LIMITED’ embossed in gold lettering on its exterior. The item appears to be in fair vintage condition, with signs of age and use apparent on both the case and the celluloid wedge. It is a unique piece of photographic history.
