I have a camera that I am trying to I.D. but can't seem to find a picture of online. It has a unicum shutter. It's a folding camera. Red bellows. leather case outside. It has a black lens mounting plate. In the back the top open and there are metal film plates? Any Ideas what it might be? or where to find additional ID markings?I see a lot that look like this but have not found the exact one. Thanks in Advance for any leads.

Presumably it's made in the US. looks like a Pocket Poco of some type to me, really you need to post better photos and show the back and give some sizes. Made by the Rochester Camera Supply Co.
