very old camera equiptment

You tease, lol.

You have a very nice horde there. If it were me, I'd probably try to systematically use everything there at least once before deciding what to do with it.

That would take months... or years.

Anxious to see what other goodies he has!!

You might benefit by setting up something like a flickr account and uploading all the images to that. You could then ask for comments that might help you identify the individual items.

can any 1 know what type of camera that is i can not find anything on it,, all it say in on it is universay studio camera,is this for taking photos are film

That is a automated large-format sheet film camera.

The shutter and the groundglass are operated automatically. Think of an SLR and substitute the swinging mirror by the groundglass and you got the idea behind that camera.

I wonder why you did not find anything on this.
In case you want to sell that stuff, you must do a bit of homework yourself...

A few things stand out:

Baush and Lomb (at least triple-) convertible Protar lens. Expect maybe $100-300 for this alone, depending on how clean it is and whether the shutter works. Also, how much it covers, I'd assume that it at least covers the camera it's mounted on, is it 4x5", 5x7", or 8x10"?
I think I can just read it, says 11 3/16"? here sold a similar one in a dead shutter for $200

and

edit: more here too

These film-holders look about 8x10" size. Expect $30 each minimum, maybe up to $60-100 if you can prove that they are light-tight.

I also saw a lot of other film holders, like 4x5 and 2x3 too. They'll all be really easy to sell anywhere, just sort them into groups of size and type/age (newer plastic sell for more than older wooden). keep on the lookout for weird ones that only have one side, they could be for glass plates (rare and possibly more $), or 'film packs' (noone wants them and worth almost nothing).

i am trying to find out everything i can on these i might set up a glass display in my store with them in.not sure if sell anything yet at all,, i have prob 60 to 100 of the wooden film holders some small some bigger..and prob 100 new sheets of black glass think it said filters on them thoes are 8X12
