Goerz Hypergon 120mm more photo details,
Itīs a 9x15 vageeswari here with Nikon 150mm, which in contrary to many "historical" ULF is a yery sturdy
and modern (tilt-shift) construction, can bee used in field as "easy" as ULF is.

Ernie/Hypergon/12x10!
This is a utilitarian, rather than a bling/bling camera! I don’t think it has many moments. Around the turn of the century (19th/20th!), it was possible to buy (post order) virtually all possible brass fitments for all sized cameras. Remember the cost of skilled labor/craftsmen then was much less proportional to shop bought products than it is now. There was really money to be saved in putting together you own camera, especially if you knew it was going to be used for a simple action day after day.
So, I think this is a privately produced camera - probably in the USA, because of the spring back and the 4 pin mounting. The now “exotic and expensive” Hyperion was a quite inexpensive lens around 1900-1920.
