SOLD, thank you!

An antique 162mm (6 3/8") f/8 lens that came with an old Conley 5x7 camera project I bought a long time ago.
Anastigmat or Rapid Rectilinear?...
I don't know, but the elements appear to be symmetrical.
Lens elements (most likely Wollensak) were a direct fit into a tiny Alphax shutter.
Shutter was CLA'd by AlphaxBetax 7-8 years ago, and SK Grimes fabbed up the aperture scale.
Retaining ring included.
Just checked the shutter, and it's still clicking along and sounds good...
"T" works best at the black dot between T & B.
I just rediscovered this in my cabinet, thought somebody might need (want) it as a user for their classic 5x7... it's a cute, light, tiny lens...a backpacker's delight!
See photos!

Asking $60, includes CONUS shipping, PayPal G&S fees, and a donation to Photrio.
