I've got a spare f/11 Kodak 21 1/4" Anastigmat process lens laying around. I've used it on a 12x20 with good results, but it just doesn't get enough use.
I'll call it a 7 out of 10 - the front glass is great and the iris is tight, but not really stiff. The only reson I take off points is because the rear glass has a lot of cleaning marks. They aren't terribly deep, and, as I say, they didn't affect my photos. They were plenty sharp and contrasty. I just don't want anybody buying this to expect perfect glass. You'll be the judge, of course, as I'll take it back for a full refund of the purchase price for any reason. You get to pay the return postage.
Lens comes with a mounting flange, which is attached to a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" Korona board. I see I've marked the back to indicate that other Anastigmats fit this flange, e.g., 19 3/4" Eastman and 10" Kodak. I don't have those lenses anymore to check that, however.
I think $100 + shipping is a fair price. Shipping via USPS Priority Medium Flat Rate will cost you $10.95 in the US. Overseas shipping will have to be calculated.
As I said, satisfaction guaranteed. Paypal OK.
