Hi folks. I've got two older lenses, in barrels, that I'm considering selling, but I've not been able to find any leads (internet) that might give me a clue what they're worth. I was wondering if anyone might have an idea where I could find some information, in this regard.
The first lens is a 1920's vintage Ross Combinable (convertable) 14 1/2 " f/11 - 8 1/2" f/5.5 fully symmetrical lens. At 14 1/2" it's rated to cover 8x10, and at 8 1/2" it's said to cover 8x5.
The second lens is a nice compact Cooke Process Anastigmat 9"/230mm f/8 Series VB. Coated. It doesn't appear to have ever been used. 7x9 coverage at 1:1, and 6x7 1/2" at infinity, although it appears to easily cover 8x10 without any movement.
I've been able to garner the above technical information off of Camera Eccentric, but nothing with regard to current pricing. I suppose this might be due to not many of them being around any more, yes?
Thanks in advance. Paddy
