               Have found a large collection of photo stuff in an old barn 
dating 
               from 1898 to 1950 and have a few questions.  
                 1. Found most of an old view camera and the only id found on 
it says--
                    St. Louis Photo supply CO 
                    Dealers of photographic materials 
                    1887 Olive St.  St. Louis
                    I think they are talking about St. Louis, MO as this barn 
is on a farm in 
                    Missouri.  Is this a home made camera?  It is a 8X10 size 
all red wood 
                    (like cherry wood ?) on a stand like one would use in a 
studio.  The 
                    front and back is missing, and there are several boxes of 
old plates?        
                    to put film/glass in also in the barn.  How can I find 
out more about this 
                    camera?  Is it of any value or should it be trashed?  
Most of it is in sad 
                    shape and the plate tend to fall apart when picked up 
even gently but 
                    can be glued back together.

                   Second question.  Also need help with latern slides.  Have 
found around 
                   100 slides also in the barn.  95% are in good shape but 
the paper edge 
                   is comeing off or has by the time I wiped the dust off 
them.  What do 
                   collectors use to rewrap them so the pices of glass do not 
come apart?         
                   These are old Eastman slides
             
                   Even if you do not know the answers if you have a 
connection or phone 
                   number of someone who can help it is much apreciated.

        P.S.  Just to let you know--The owner of the barn wants to throw 
everything in a 
                 dumpster so he can put his fishing boat in there.  ;0(
