I received a Cooke lens with a bunch of other old camera gear and am wondering if it is an Aviar. On the front it has engraved COOKE ANASTIGMAT 5X7 INCHES No, 55944 f4.5 7 INCH Series II.
I have done some googling on this lens and there are some references that this Cooke anastigmat was an early Aviar. It came in a Number 3 Optimo shutter. Can any of the experts on the Forum enlighten me?
