Anyone know anything about this lens? Solid brass.
Is there a reference site to check?

It is probably a Wollensak Portrait Series A lens - which I believe is a Petzval style lens. I have one of these in the same size. Read about it here:

thanks for the tip. I downloaded that article.
Any idea as to its value. I use something newer and smaller

Some of the same lenses but labled Sereoco were selling here a week ago. Around 200 would be a safe bet. Maybe a hundred or so more on the right day.

Last Friday was the right day. I got $300 locally for the 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 Seroco f/5 that day.
