Does anyone have any info on this old camera.It had to be from around the late 1800s or early 1900s.
Looks like a Gatling gun to me.
That's just what I was going to say
I see no lens, nor a film holder. What makes you think that this is a camera?
I see a circle of hex nuts, not gun barrels. Not a Gatling gun.

I stand corrected! Definitely a Gatling gun.
Thanks to all. I never thought of it being a gun. This was in an old picture with some of my ancestors.

I bet most people didn't smile when they had their picture taken with this "camera".
we know a gatling gun when we see one even if it's blured.
Stand in front of it and says 'Cheese' just before you become Swiss cheese.

Who says they're not gun happy??? They even think guns are cameras.
