I have agreed to exchange this lovely old brass lens for a 35mm lens I never use. The inscription reads:
Wray London for 5x4 5 1/2in no.7342

From the serial number, I think it's from the 1880s. I think it's probably a Rapid Rectilinear, when it arrives I shall examine it to find out.
Anyone seen one like this before?
