Any idea what manufacturer/model this 4x5 camera is? I didn't find any identification. Thanks.

Wow...looks amazing! Looks Ebony-ish to me somehow. Ebony tailboard camera prototype? Hmmm...
Copy camera?

Seems vaguely Ebony-ish to me too. But if it is an Ebony, it must be a very early one - the details of the hardware fittings are not consistent with any Ebony model I've seen, from the Wide/New Wide onward.
It might help to have front and rear views in addition to the side views.
Front view without lens
Hmmm...that's a bit of an odd arrangement. A bit of a "push me pull you" design.
Perhaps a mount at the front of the camera for a behind the lens roller-blind shutter? And that lever at the bottom in front - does it lock the front swing? It would be great to see this in action, or at least know a bit more about the cameras various movements and how they work.
Did anything else come with this camera? Any lens boards, etc.?
Looks homemade to me.
I have 2 Made in Japan
OLD LF Full Plate I bet Pre War
Bench cameras, few movements
Very well made, bought from KUMAR our best seller!
Actually he gave them away, I paid shipping
Thanks again KUMAR!
