This is just to satisfy my curiosity. Post contains an auction link, but the auction is done, and I will attach some pictures so that the thread is still readable after the link expires. This LF camera was sold on shopgoodwill: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/64415618 under the obscure title "Vintage Heiland Research Camera, No. 3 Acme Shutter." Now, the pluses and minuses of Goodwill aside, the description is pretty vague, the pictures are decent, but I can't identify the camera, am curious about it, and wonder if LF veterans would know. (I didn't buy it.)
Some basic clues from the photos: it folds up like a press or technical camera, appears to be leatherette covered wood, has triple extension bellows, might be 5x7, and I suspect has an extending back like a Linhof technical camera (did Linhof invent this feature? I don't know). Photos and more thoughts below.
