As a note, the camera at the lower right of the picture looks like an early 1900s Conley. The leather covering has what is referred to as a 'bear skin' finish.

The opposite side of the box will have a drop bed. This can be opened by pushing a hidden button located in front of the leather carrying strap. If the camera is in good condition, you will be greeted by a beautifully finished wood interior and a front that extends with a red leather bellows. Assuming you successfully open the camera, I suggesting posting pictures.
