Karl just saw this thread and late to the party. I have Series VI 13"/f5.6, S/N 28447.
Series II f4.5 13" serial number 73116 Europe ebay 133310987731 (I have no association with the item).
Series II f4.5 15" serial number 123532 - a knuckler. Ha ha ha, £4k on european ebay - mind you, for that you get fungus on the front element thrown in for free...
Not sure Cooke XIV is considered a portrait lens or not. But here is a 21 inch with serial number: 221625. I do like its look on my 16x20 ground glass.
Series II f4.5 13" serial number 93722
This one is already in the list (a 12 1/4" IIB, serial 201419) but it was the price that caught my eye - located in Argentina it is listed on ebay for EUR 290,000 - that's around GBP 260,000 or USD 328,000.
Wow, these have really gone up in value! Just don't hit the 'Buy It Now' button...
