Kodak Anastigmant 130mm

This is a lens from 1913 with a "ball-bearing shutter" that the seller said was in "excellent condition". Does anyone know anything about this lens?
Sorry for the poor quality jpg.

Looks like a lens off of a Kodak folder. I've got one of those suckers here awaiting photographication and ad listing here on Apug

It looks like the four group four element Dialite formula that evolved into the longer Ektar f/7.7 203 mm that was produced perhaps into the 1950s. The 130mm focal length suggests use on something close to 3.25 x 4.25 coverage. It is a good design for its day, and better than some of its contemporaries for close-up work. The uncoated four group design may be a bit more prone to flare than the three group Tessar that eventually displaced it.

Most likely taken from an Eastman Kodak Autographic. Possibly an Autographic Junior or similar model. I have three similar shutters with the 170mm FL lens elements. They all came from a No. 3 Model C's. If you find a similar shutter with the Bausch & Lomb Rapid Rectilinear lens set (originating from a No.3 Model A camera), and then remove half the elements (front or back but not both), you end up with a really inexpensive 8x10 lens and shutter. That's how my homemade 8x10 is configured. I had "no luck" getting an Anastigmat lens to do that trick.

The Rapid Rectilinear is symmetrical (has two identical achromats), so is convertible. If you take the front one off, you have the preferred stop-in-front-of meniscus-achromat configuration, but twice the f.l. and new f-#.

According to some references 'anastigmat' types can be 3 or more element, well-corrected. Some evolved into or were similar to Tessar's, and thus can't play without their proper combined halves, which are not at all symmetrical...and don't work standalone (the ones I've tried).
