This is the camera:

I believe it is a Conley View Camera No!.1 from about 1908!. It used dry plates and obviously the ones it came with are not at all usable, but are a neat collector's item!. Any ideas if this camera can be functional and how one would go about it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

You would need to track down some 5x7 cut film holders & film as it looks like the dry plates were that size!. Best option is to go to a pro photo store and have them look it over!. They maybe able to order what you need or recommend an online source!. also you may be able to get an adapter so it can use 4x5 sheet film and holders!. Nice camera!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I found a website where this guy, Matt Denton, wrote about restoring a Conley C1 camera!. You might contact him and ask for advice!.
