There is almost no info abut this camera in the Internet and McKeown's.
Matt Denton says:
"Patent June 14, 1910" (1914?)
and Canemah Studio, a member of Flickr, says in the description of his camera's photo:
"It was manufactured with a collaboration between the Houghton Ltd. of London and Gennert company of New York in the early 1900's, probably between 1911-1915. It's a very uncommon camera and information on this particular model has been difficult to find. The attention to detail is fantastic and the workmanship of British cameras is quite remarkable and beautiful."
A brief history about Houghtons in pre-WW1 era:
Haughtons dates back to 1814 as a glass seller. Then they began to distribute the Daguerreotype requzites. After 1904 the firm produced a vast range of cameras and absorbed some small camera makers. From 1900 until around 1909, a large number of Houghtons' cameras were German imports, primarily Dr.Krugener.
There are many similarities between this camera and some Dr.Krugener models. So, it could be that my camera is a kind of copy of Krugeners.

Christmas Post Card to Winifred Mabel George, Penventon Terrace, Redruth, Cornwall dated 23rd December 1907. Sent from an E Irwin?, Jerrettspass, Newry.
There was no rain today but it was cloudy most of the day and there were fierce winds off of the Gulf of Mexico. With the blowing sand and salt water mist, it was not a good day to take the camera on the beach. Hoping for clearer skies and less wind tomorrow.

Cropped within this post card perfect view was a very sad tragedy. A retired professor drowned that day. The firemen were looking for his body out in the ocean, while the sun casts it's setting shades.
As I stood in the gentle autumn breeze behind the firemen, I felt rather insignificant, as sad as one man's death was, the sky doesn't pause to weep. It marches on beautifully as ever, as if the man never existed. The sky out lives everything.

The first circus to come to Klamath Falls was on the occasion of Railroad Day in June 1909. The event was held in celebration of the previous month's arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Having train service not only meant that commerce and industry would soon thrive, but that circus companies could be brought to town. According to newspaper reports, Snow's Pony and Dog Show was contracted for the celebration. A banner seen in the center of this image advertises "Don Fulano, The "Educated Horse."
A cowboy by the name of Accord rides the world champion bucking horse "Cyclone" in a rodeo sponsored by the Klamath Falls Elks Lodge in May 1912. The action took place at the new Klamath County Fairgrounds located at the south end of Lake Ewauna. Cyclone was among a railroad car load of wild horses brought in from Pendleton for the event. Local photographer Charles R. Miller captured several fast-action photos of the event. This one shows Hogback Mountain in the background.
A post card postmarked Nov. 28, 1911. The handwritten message, dated Nov. 27, is: "Dear People. Here is a new view of our school school showing the old building. My shop is in a building in the grove but my office in the upper left corner of this one. Round Table room right corner 2d story (sash curtains in window). With greetings from Emma."
Mountain hemlock trees line a primitive road leading toward the rim of Crater Lake in this undated photo. The post card identifies Garfield Peak, which had been known as Castle Mountain until being renamed in 1907 to honor James R. Garfield, secretary of the Interior at that time.

Charles R. Miller captured this photo of five men hiking down to Crater Lake in 1909. At that time there were no improved trails leading to the lake's shore. Visitors had to scramble 900 feet down the caldera wall to Eagle Cove, directly below the area now known as Rim Village. Trail improvements began in the year after this photo was taken.

A lumber mill operated by John and Harry Ackley was among the early lumber operations in Klamath Falls, having started up in 1905 on the shore of Lake Ewauna. In this image workers can be seen pulling a large Douglas-fir log up the mill slip toward the steam-driven circle saw inside. The mill continued operations until 1943, making it one of the Klamath Basin's longest-running lumber concerns.

Pine logs are displayed in a post card that might have been taken anywhere in the Intermountain West in the early 1900s. This image ended up in a collection gathered by James Floyd of Klamath Falls. He donated the collection to the Klamath County Museum in 1973.
Located across the highway from the Family Style, the Congress Inn opened in 1958 by local entrepreneur Earl Clark. In 1962, Clark sold the motel and used the money to build the Dutch Wonderland amusement park down the road.
The motel, which had one of the best roadside signs in the area, stayed in business until the late 2000s. It was demolished in 2010 and a new Hilton owned hotel is currently being built on the site.

A muddy Main Street in Klamath Falls is shown in this photo taken around 1910. The rails for the Linkville Trolley occupy one side of the street, and automobile and wagon ruts the other. The photographer was set up near the corner of First Street to capture this view of Main running to the northeast. The Livermore Hotel – more commonly known as the Houston Hotel – can be seen at left center. A variety of businesses, including a livery stable, were located on the opposite side of Main.
The lobby of the Baldwin Hotel Museum in seen in this post card image. A calendar on one of the pillars in the lobby appears to be for the year 1912. The man sitting in the rocking chair at right may be George T. Baldwin, who had the structure built in 1905 to house his hardware store on the ground floor and office spaces on the upper three floors. The building was converted to a hotel in 1911. George Baldwin died in 1920. Neither the man at the desk nor the woman on the stairs has been identified. While the woman somewhat resembles George Baldwin's daughter, Maud, museum staff does not believe it to be her. Many of the furnishings in this photo can still be found in the lobby of the Baldwin Hotel Museum today.
