Does anyone know anything about these lenses. It's in a Compur Ser No, 435 6xx so dates to 1919/20 and appears to be a Dialyte lens, SN is 439xxx and marked on both front & rear cells.
According to the Vade Mecum for Goerz - "1923 The first Compur shutter dated lens is a Dagor No422,72x in a 1923 Compur No606,640. There's no reference to Goerz Ihagee lenses yet they were one of the standard lenses offered by Ihagee for 6.5x9 and Quarterplate/9x12 cameras, on some models the top of the range lens, on others a slower alternative to the f4.5 Dogmar.
At the same time Goerz were offering f6.3 and f4.5 Dogmars (as well as Dagors) on their own cameras. Ihagee switched to CZJ lenses after Goerz merged with Zeiss.
