About

The Peek-a-Boo is a magazine camera, but without a sophisticated plate changing mechanism. The holder with the exposed plate must be closed, pulled out, and put behind the holders of the unexposed plate(s). Then the holder of the unexposed plate in the image plane must be opened and the magazine closed. Then the camera is ready for the next shot. It was made in the 1890s by Aiken-Gleason, a company based in La Crosse, Wisconsin. All other details on the old ad below:
