Kindly help to appraise the lens.
The brass lens has the following engravings:
"Eclair"
Rectilineaire Rapide
Lerie III
The diaphragm inside has a lever that may be adjusted according to markings in the range of f values from 8 to 64.
Searching this forum for Eclair did not return a result. So I am looking for the minimal selling price for this piece according to the attached photos.
The lens need some cleaning of lenses and the brass in order to shine.
Dimensions are 6 cm diameter, 9 cm long.

In that case, I would stick it on ebay and let the market decide value....
