Hi.
Got this old wooden boxcamera with 12 plateholders (for 3,5 x 4,5") but it was impossible to find out who the producer was. Do You know anything about it? Look at the facebook pictures!

i was not able to see the faceobook photos, unfortunately ...
are the plate holders inside the camera, and like sheaths to put
the glass plates in, or do they look like modern film holders but for glass plates ?

if it is one of the ones that has the septums/sheaths inside the camera, it is a falling plate camera
like the box camera where you used double sided plate holders there were many makers.
western camera manufacturing company made lots of them ( there was usually a tag ).
sears also had them made for them and often times did not have a manufacturer-tag

has a lot of box and falling plate cameras maybe you can find one that looks like yours ?
i don't have / use ones that are 3x4 but 4x5, i have a few falling plate versions ( cyclone 3 and 5 ) and one that takes film holders ( delmar )
lots of fun to use them !

good luck !

There were a lot of those cameras made at one time, it's a falling plate box camera. I have a few of those plate holder, most cameras could hold 12 plates.

This is usually the best site to start looking, (can't spot your camera though), Old BJP Almanacs are useful but hard to find and expensive for that era, also time consuming as they tend to be 1200 or more pages, a high proportion adverts.
