Help identify 3.5" square enlarger lens board

[Ian Grant]

I have a lens board threaded to M39, I have no idea what it fits.

Is it made of medal Ian? I had a few Federal enlargers that had lens boards similar to that, but don't currently have one to measure.

Yes, it's Aluminium. It's I think from a US made enlarger, not anything I've seen in the UK. US enlargers were usually brought by Americans sent by their companies to work here (or military personnel), or the opposite Brits returning from working in the States.

A photo would help.... Might be for a Beseler 45MXT..... sounds about the right size

The Beseler 45MXT lens boards are I think 4" square. I know I photographed it, but when - from memory it came in a darkroom job lot around 1999, however I photographed it more recently, along with a baby Linhof lens board.

I'll post an image tomorrow.
