Hello,
Those are camera lenses.
That looks like a matched set from a twin-lens camera, like those used for school photos. One lens for viewing, the one with the shutter is for exposing the film.
The lenses are not particularly rare or valuable, but the application of them is unusual & custom.
One of the major rules of this site is NO VALUATIONS.
Check "sold" prices on the famous auction site for
Wollensak 162mm Raptar.

We all need to stick together or we all fail
