This is a 250 exposure back for a Nikon F. It has a F-36 motor drive built in. They were sold with a power pack, cable and two cassettes (capable of holding 10 meter/33 feet of film). It could shoot up to 4 frames / second with the mirror raised - which was pretty fast at the time. In comparison to today's digital cameras going up to 11 images per second (no mechanics to push film, etc.), that's a glacial pace. I'm unsure of the dates, but probably 1959 to the early 1960s.
To rniederman, thank you so much for the info!
