I'd guess it's a Durley Pedersen.

This green one is circa 1903, a little more original than the ones above, note the interesting gearbox:

By the way, searching "bizarre folding bike" in the ol gugulator really brings some interesting designs!

Dursley Pederson design first used around 1890 or so. A truly handbuilt bike.

There may still be a couple of builders doing custom versions using the original design concept.
I have a couple of “Ortho” model faux Pedersen style bikes by Virtue Bikes. The first one is a rat rod project from an Ortho frame. The second is mostly stock out of the box.
