Thanks!! I did google "vintage box camera" or combinations thereof, with other additional terms, but never got a similar image. I even uploaded this image that I took to the google image search engine and got a bunch of safes, telephones, and a few cameras that were not a match.
Someone was using this to take video (I guess) of the 4014 Big Boy steam locomotive as it departed Kansas City a few days ago, and I took a couple of shots as I passed it by because of it's coolness. There was no one there operating it... a crowd of people all around, so I suppose the operator was out getting other angles with a diff't camera... or was perhaps an invisible ghost him- or her-self?
