That looks like an ICA plate camera with a homemade adapter for more 'modern' plate or cut film holders. I would guess a 150 mm lens was for 10 x 15 cm, since the 9x12 ones usually had 135 mm.
 
The ICA Favorit had the 150mm f4.5 tessar for 9 x 12, so it might not have been for 10 x 15, if this matters to anyone at all......
 
The lens/shutter combo came from an ICA 9x12 camera, most likely the Ideal 9x12 model, that most often used this type of bayonet mount. The camera certainly is not of ICA provenance. The lens off-hand seems to be in good condition, by the way.
 
Thanks, you can see where the front standards have been machined out a bit to clear the diameter of the shutter.

Lens is clear and shutter works well.
