Any brass/glass connoisseurs out there know what this lens is?

The etching below the AE logo simply says "Trade Mark"

An easy one. Even I own a E. Anthony RR lens with wheel stops.

Pretty sure this a landscape meniscus lens and not a rapid rectilinear. And wheres the wheel stop? Looks like washer stop to me.

BTW- You drinking a little tonight Kent?:D

I've been in the business for 65 years and you guys still amaze with with lenses I've never seen before (that includes 30 countries).

So, Jim...will it cover 11x14? ;)

PS...took a portrait of the three boys with the 270mm (closed all the way so that I could time it with the lens cap) -- Boys up against a rock down at Luffenhotz. Not bad, kinda cool, very 11x14! The boys also helped hauling the camera and pod!

Getting some work out of the boys ... that's good.

No, the pillbox is not mine ... just helping a 1st-time ebay seller identify what he had and helping him with the listing.

I do have a Rapid Rectilinear on the way from Canada that will cover 11x14, though.

Just suggested to Jim in Ventura that we all meet up for a camp out at Bull Creek the weekend of 9/28.

That means the original manufacturer wants you to trade it to someone named "Mark"...

hmmmm... who could we come up with? :confused:

Sounds good to me! Now it is just a matter of remembering to keep that weekend open.
