Thank you, aperture marks run sideways on this not sure what that means … I see a Trylor marked 105mm lens w Pontiac Paris shutter on a folding camera (though one Camerapedia entry in stilted language calls out Trylor lenses are enlargers and rare). I also saw a remark elsewhere w a Trylor and the term “Objectiv.”. Keeping finger crossed for a Horseman install.

And good to know this detail from a French advert - "H. ROUSSEL" lenses the First French Optical Brand ANASTIGMAT "TRYLOR"f.6.3 Composed of 3 elements, it is perfectly corrected: its luminosity is enough to allow the snapshot in good light. The image is fine, bright and homogeneous. The plate covered at all apertures.
The Trylor is a very good handheld lens. Adapted to any camera instead of a rectilinear lens, it increases, in vast proportions, the performance and the field of action."

Looking forward to this Lens. Thanks.
