Yes you can delete posts. Completed listings only Dr. as this Forum and not just this thread frowns upon links to the auction site. Just put the number. It's to help us all understand market value of these wonderful lenses. Go back and read a few pages of posts on this thread and it should be pretty clear.

To-day, UK on-line auction. Kershaw Soft lens (clone of the Spencer Port-Land) 11" F5.6. Fair condition on a fair Watson 1/2 plate camera with fair T-P shutter.

£200 gbp - 293 usd (with the auction house 20% added.

The bargains are getting fewer and the auction houses descriptions have to help a little ( "missing the front lens" in the main description).

14.5 inch Verito in medium condition. separation on the front elements. still quite a steal at $309.00 IMO. 182302006035

A very odd ebay sale.

This is engraved as a Dallmeyer 2a and has been sold/not sold approximately 6 times in the last six weeks, with small changes in the listing description/photos each time. It cannot be a 2a, as the size and weight (over 4 kilos) make this impossible. It could be incorrectly engraved 4a.

Anyway, it is 17240880431. Sold for 960usd.

I was unable to check the serial number (14186) in the Dallmeyer Archive to-day.

There was also a military WWI Dallmeyer Dallmeyer 5d (122202256578) for 742 usd some time ago.
Only difference from the "usual" 5d is that there is no marking (at present) showing degree of diffusion selected.

Yes it was listed at buy it now for $3000.00 $2000.00 and as low as $1000.00 with expensive $150 shipping as well as other amounts. It finally sold for the 960usd with much cheaper shipping. thanks for your input Steven I was wondering about it.

Has something been changed on EBay? I always could find the sold item by using the above mentioned numbers.
But that isn't working anymore

After the search shows up blank, check the "completed sales" box. Yup, ebay found a new and improved way to screw up what worked before...
