Believe it or not, there is a Rayment's Patent listed on Ebay at the moment which includes a variety of photos!
Item 281412251681 - it is in average condition - your family's camera would have been in better condition!
and here's another one, a real beauty:-

I think it's the same one...?

err...........yes
looking at the photos of the camera listed on eBay make me wonder if, perhaps, the Gandolfi brothers took inspiration from Perken & Rayment? Or were they possibly contemporaries?
they followed after P & R Brad

http://www.historiccamera.com/cgi-bi...eet&app_id=139 indicates it was available in a number of sizes.
Yes, this range (up to 15x12") was more or less standard for English and Scottish camera makers.
I don't think that sellers had a workshop as part of their organisation, but made agreements with external independent specialists who made cameras to their (in this case Rayment's) specifications. There are a number of cameras in the UK, which are identical, although sold under different names.
