Looking for a 5x7 on fleabay when I came across this camera (item 223476836639) with the Cooke lens attached. Seller says lens is 8.5in, f4.5, series III. Such a lens seems to come from a casket set, the front element in photo by itself is an extension and looks to be inscribed 13in. Nothing in the photos of the lens suggests it is a Cooke. Shutter looks newer than the lens. Just curious, do we think it a Cooke or not?
