Default Camber Problem?

I'm continuing to work on the 1929 Sport Coupe I acquired last spring. The front passenger-side tire that accompanied the car is badly worn, and requires replacement. The wear pattern is uneven, showing excessive wear on the outer side. In looking at the car head-on from the front, the wheel appears to have excessive positive camber (the top of tire leans out away from the car). Before mounting the new tire on this side, I'd like to verify whether there is a camber problem. What is the best way to determine this?

I understand that a camber problem may be caused by a bent axle. How can I determine whether the car has that condition?

Thanks for any guidance you can provide here. - Bill
