Does anyone out there know much about a B&J No 3a Rexo? One of
my buddies (not seriously into photography) picked one up cheap, and is
curious. Although I know the B&J name, I'm not all that familiar with
them, let alone this model. See below for what he

In my junkshop noon ramble today I picked up an old (patent says
1915), and large, American-made "Burke and James Inc - No 3a
Rexo" camera and carrying case. It's a folding, bellows-type
beast with adjustable f stops/shutter speed etc - really well made and
bulletproof looking for the the vintage. I took a look on the net
and ran into a some of their later press cameras, folding field cameras
and large format view cameras but nothing on any model this old.

Do you know anything about these beasts?<br>
