It is indeed an early Auto Graflex (non RB)  I suspect that that the 
chimney doesn't come all the way to the front of the camera but there 
is a curved dip in the body that comes down to meet the front of the 
camera.

The serial number actually pre-dates my book...I'm guessing 1917  I'l 
write more later
