I just came across a lovely 16 x 12 folding field camera (no makers name) in lovely condition with a voigtlander lens and one mahogany double dark slide, also very nice condition. The brass lens only had one waterhouse stop with it. What would be a good price to pay for this kind of picture making machine.

Dunno, but that's the WP ratio. Very nice!

Is it 16x12", 16x12cm, or 30x40cm?

16x12cm is rare, 30x40cm much more common. But the big beasts tend to be either studio cameras or Russian copies of old German tailboard cameras; the few transportable (and useable) ones would be the old German originals. I have a Russian copy which is not worth the freight...
