They are in fact Petzval's!
I've got several that I can get about 10X more for now that I know this! Sweet!

I'm going to sell my Gulfstream jet on eBay because it's so unusual. The wings are shaped like legs, and the engines don't roar so much as bray.
Hey, that lens could be a real bargain! I'm pretty sure it's a Pinkham and Smith digital Apo-Petzval triplet...
