I have just obtained what I believe to be an 1870s period wet collodion camera.

It came complete with the plate holder and four plate reducers, 10x8, whole, half and quarter plate.
I would appreciate any ideas s as to possible date, the camera is in excellent condition except for the bellows which have turned to powder.
Only the quarter plate frame shows any sign of much use.
