I recently won a old barrel lens off of the big auction site (link (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110121813907) )and was looking for more information on it. It has E. von Werth Co. and Frankfurt engraved on the barrel. Above the iris is the text "Universal Aplanat <something> Rapid". This is hard to make out as the finish has chips right around the text. I make the focal length out to be around 12" measured from the iris ring. Stops go from f8-64 (with 44 instead of 45.) Possible serial number of 1682.
Does anyone have any information on the manufacturer of this lens and the approximate age?
