Vintage large format photography at its best! This made somewhere at the end of the 1900's or shortly thereafter. The lens is in fair shape, with the aperture going from f8-45 smoothly, glass is excellent except for some small bubbles on the rear glass (won't affect images at all), but the shutter doesn't work properly & will not open. Will cover 8x10 and anything smaller. A great vintage brass lens to experiment with or restore! Lens measures 89mm x 69mm overall.
