James McKuewn is the expert on everything to do with old cameras and
literally wrote the book on them -- a massive $120 book on every camera
with value. The Luck historical society has a copy. McKuewn lives in
NW Wisconsin and can be reached by email jmckeown@grantsburgtelcom.net
(at least that was his email last time I contacted him.)
His book is at his site http://mckcamera.com/
