Seneca Scout 3a camera WITH original BOX! 100 years old!

Something different from my norm here, but this is a Seneca 3A scout camera in the original box. Does it work? No clue but the shutter does make a noise. Great conversation piece! See pictures for condition. I don''t know anything more myself, but below is from a reputable source on overall history.

Made sometime between 1914 to 1924. The Scout box cameras were constructed of wood and metal, with a durable black seal grain leatherette covering and nickel plated brass hardware. It was fitted with a fix focus, first grade meniscus lens with an automatic shutter for time or instantaneous exposures. It featured an easy load film chamber that was removed by releasing the catches that hold the chamber in place. Once removed film was easy loaded and the chamber returned to the camera where the catches would lock the chamber in place. Two view finders were built-in. The No. 3A took ten exposures 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. Priced at $5.00 originally.
