Hi all,
I'd like to ask the experts here for any information on a recent purchase; I found nothing through internet search engines, and I'm hoping someone can chime in.
While I wait for the machinist to mount it to a board, I thought I'd try to find some history on the lens and its manufacturer, who is unknown to me.
This is my first brassie, so please be kind :)
I bought this lens from Scott because I admire the portraits he's taken with it:

Scott's original ad for the sale stated that the focal length is 16" (roughly 406mm) and he used it on his 10x12 ( I will use it on 8x10).
Aperture ranges from f8 to f64.
The barrel reads the following:
City Sale and Exchange
51 Lime Street
and at 51(?) Aldersgate Street
London E.C.(?)
Thank you in advance for any information.
