I found this camera among my grandfathers things. And my google skills turned up nothing exact as far as year, model, or value.

The only marking on the camera is "Compur" on the front. No other text anywhere else.

It's all wood and leather, and fold up to about 1 inch thick.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hmm, looks pretty spiffy, and small. Negative size could really help in the Googling.

Not sure why, but call me JJ.

The whole camera looks similar to this:

It has a COMPUR shutter that looks similar to this:

What does the lens say?

Must be plates camera. If you open it, it might have some info inside.
The way these cameras where made was by artels. One artel was making lenses, another shutters, third one bellows and someone else camera bodies. Then camera was sold under specific brand name. Ihagee, for example.
