Can someone help me identify what kind of camera this is?

It's a large format field camera. Looks nice made, though the bellows may have light leaks.
I don't see any film holders in your images, if it takes the modern standardised ones thats not a problem, but I for this sadly that's not the case.
Each manufacturer of earlier large format cameras had their own film holders, for each of a multitude of film/plate sizes. Tracking down the right ones for a camera is a major pain. There are those who can modify the camera to modern film holders (probably a good idea as they cover the readily available film sizes) I'm not sure which size your model is Korona did a model that could probably be modified to standard 10x8" holders and a smaller one that should be able to be modified to either 5x4" or 5x7" standards. Measuring the size of the ground glass should be able to determine which model yours is.

Large format cameras were once the reserve of professionals & fetched high prices. Now they are much more niche, often only used by enthusiasts (they are slow & expensive to use). Field cameras do at least tend to fetch more than the monorail studio model I have which typically cost me under £100

TPF needs a for-profit appraisal forum for these drive-bys.

Yeah, lots of new-member traffic here, but not many stay around.

Maybe we should have told them it is worth between ... Zero and a Gazillion?

Not sure what it is worth, but it's a cool looking old timer.
