For Sale Dubroni 1/4 Plate Petzval Lens - 1860s

[luvcameras]

1/4 Plate Dubroni Petzval Lens with flange. 5" focal length ( 3" back focus). I believe this dates to mid 1860s-1870. Glass is clean and clear and in good shape. Lens elements have the number 14 written on two lens element edges. Spacer present. Barrel has lots of patina. Tangent drive missing two screws. The drive works but is a bit finicky. Glass would grade a 9- while barrel an 8-. Ready to shoot. Works great on 4x5 for close up portraits. $ 299 plus shipping. I ship worldwide to PayPal addresses
