One of the camera models of the Scovill Mfg. Co. / Scovill & Adams Co. that had the longest production history was the Acme Reversible Back View Camera, made in several variations from c.1878 through at least 1895.  But in 1895, the Acme Landscape View Camera was offered, a model described above as a "new camera" that was similar to the Acme Reversible Back, but had two significant differences: 1) it did not have a removeable back (to easily change from vertical to horizontal format), but rather, its back was rectangular and shaped like the plates it used, and 2) its bellows are straight, not tapered.

     In fact, the Acme Landscape View looks a lot more like a "76" Wet Plate Version View Camera (but without a horizontally shifting front) than it does an Acme.
