I picked up this whole plate wide angle rectilinear a while back and could never find anything about it. The only marking is for the Des Moines Photo Materials Co, which I'd assume to be a reseller, not the manufacturer. It consists of four lenses, numbered 1 through 4. A previous owner made up a cheat sheet of the combinations and focal length (I have yet to try it to see if it's right). Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,
Dan

Since there's been a lot of WAR activity today, maybe someone recognizes this lens?

137mm at its widest, with claimed coverage of whole plate.

I put a few more photos on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/52276513@N03/sets/72157632662415891/

Thank you for the info about Willoughbys. Which other focal lengths do the combinations allow you to use?
