AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Folding camera (brand ICA?) (from the company CAPI in The Hague, see picture on the body) with Doppel-Anastigmat Selar 135mm f/6.3 lens and Vario shutter. The camera is missing the metal left support/hinge arm.
I have no certainty about the stated brand and model. An expert may be able to determine which brand/model this is from the photos!
Shutter and diaphragm have been checked once (1x random shutter speed and diaphragm operation).
Elsewhere in the condition as shown. I have no further knowledge and therefore sell as unchecked and "what you see is what you get".
The folder with 3 accompanying plates I had lying around somewhere, and I will include these with the camera (which I THINK is the correct size, see photo with ruler).

The camera shown is a classic 9x12 cm bellows- or plate-camera from the 1910s–1920s, equipped with a Doppel-Anastigmat Selar 135mm f/6.3 lens and a Vario shutter. Such cameras were produced and supplied by various German manufacturers (such as Ica, Orion, or Certo) with lenses from independent optical makers.
This object is (POSSIBLY) an antique ICA Sirene 135 folding camera (plate camera), produced in Germany by Internationale Camera Actiengesellschaft (ICA) between 1914 and 1926. After 1926 production continued under the Zeiss Ikon banner.
• Lens: The Selar 135mm f/6.3 is a classic anastigmat lens that offered good sharpness for its time. The focal length of 135mm is standard for the 9x12 cm plate format.
• Shutter: The Vario shutter (made by Gauthier) is a simple but reliable leaf shutter. It typically has settings T (Time), B (Bulb) and three shutter speeds: 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100 of a second.
• Body: A folding wooden or aluminum bed, covered with black imitation leather (leatherette). The camera has a retractable leather bellows and a brilliant finder (the small mirror on top of the lens board) that can be rotated for horizontal or vertical compositions.
