Hello,
I have a Goerz lens (a family hand-me-down) for which I need information (Age, what is the correct term for this type of lens, what type of photography it was/is used for, etc.).
I'll include everything which is stamped on the lenses and body (Please excuse my lack of correct terminology! ).
There is a tag on the shutter body which reads: "C.P. Goerz AM. Opt. Co. New-York XEXCELL SECTOR PAT'D. No I176I (I'm not to sure about the *I*'s).
One lens is stamped with the following:
223092 (Serial #, I presume?).
The other lens is stamped with the following (Here's the good stuff...):
GOERZ DAGOR F 6.8 US PAT No 528155 SERIES III No 3 FOCUS 8 1/4 IN No 223092 (Serial #?).
All lenses are clear. I see no signs of de-lamination. Some of the black paint is flaking off. One leather cover is intact.
Thank you,
Warren
