Early design

Might be the earliest tripod mountable in the archives.

Camera in a box

Cliff with early camera (in a suit). The lens is right inside the box; look for a dark opening.

Wood box camera

I will guess that if this is not the earliest camera, it is really close to it. c 1929

Another roll-around

Similar to all the cameras of the early 30's. Note the "viewfinder" on the top.

Film camera

Not a camera as most folks relate to; this one is special for direct copy from film. Film was the only motion-medium that could store moving images for use later. 1927 saw the WB patent for "talkies" so lots were happening these days.
