I have recently come to be the owner of a rather sizable collection of cameras, many of which are rather old. In the mix, I have found several lenses that appear to be large or medium format lenses from the early 1900s.
The first of which is a brass lens inscribed "Ajax 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 W. P. B. Philadelphia". I assumed it was a Simon Wing Ajax lens, but haven't been able to find any information that helps with a better identification.
I would be interested in knowing what exactly it is and a ballpark value if possible. Thank you in advance! I will post the other two in separate posts.
Simon Wing Ajax?
