Got this lens in a lot of stuff recently and am having the darndest time figuring out what it is.
I've poured over the lens with a loupe and can't find a single marking on it anywhere--either cell--to indicate the make. What piqued my interest is that the coverage seems to be pretty large for such a small lens. It appears to easily cover 8x10, possibly 11x14, wide open.
Came mounted in an old dial-set Compur shutter which, by the serial number, dates to ~1914. Slightly oddball size on the shutter as well:both front and rear lens mounts have ~35mm openings--otherwise it appears to be a #1. F/stops are marked "4.5, 6.3, 9, 12.6, 18, 25, 36." No idea if it's original to lens.
Any help at all in figuring out what I've got here would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
