The lens is from about 1925, which would match the mount. By type, that is a common twenties focusing mount, affordable version, as I'd expect it on a "prosumer" grade SLR. However, SLRs back then were at least 6x9cm, with a long mirror, so that they fit nothing shorter than about 120mm - so that that lens must be from sth. else.
I am not aware of an affordable 35mm camera of that vintage with such a crude focusing mechanism, and a 50mm Triotar would not cover 4x6.5cm and other pre 35mm small formats. Might be a lower grade (amateur or industrial) cine lens - the focal length is right, and these cameras were wooden with flange mounted lenses back then... _________________ Sevo |
