I have an old wooden box camera, i believe to be 1800s. I was hoping someone here could identify it with a makers name or a date.
Here are a few pictures....

Not sure about the waterstops or fstops.
No markings at all, I can't really see anything inside of it.

Johnny - what size is the plate back? Is there a slot with a reversible drawer?

Not sure why I'm thinking it looks vaguely like a Magic Lantern set....can't possibly be.
