Hi Gregg, re your Wizard query..
Gundlach Optical made lenses, in 1896 it aquired Korona to make cameras,
then joined Manhattan and became a leading dry plate camera company, taken
over by Seebold Invisible which then became "invisible". The Manhattan
Wizard Folding Plate Cameras were made around turn of century in several
models; 4"x5" size can have a selling price of $usa120-180, in very good
condition, although no guarantees about this.
