Welcome to CW!!!
You should find an answer here!!
Although a bit worn, this is a really good studio view camera. The Harrison lens is a very desirable American radial drive design dating to the late 1860s. While it would be helpful to replace one of the images with a pic of the back of the camera, my opinion is American Optical as the maker ... maybe later 1860s as well. If 1860s, the camera is a wet plate collodion design. A pic of the rear of the camera could possibly tell me more about the maker and model. Please measure the ground glass dimensions to determine the format.
