I think the seller screwed up. As for the 8X10, it looks like my short bed Century 4a, but with a 4X5 back on it. Funny, the listing says "Camera is in excellent condition and the owner says it works fine", yet I see tears in the bellows you can shove a film holder through.

BTW - if it IS a 4a, it would date to the late 1920's early '30's, not the 1890's.
Too bad they don't show more of the stand - THAT's something I'd bid on...
