Vintage WOLLENSAK 15 Inch f/5.6 Telephoto Camera LENS on 3.5" Graflex? Board

Description: Here's a Vintage Wollensak 15 inch f/5.6 Lens, mounted on a 3.5 x 3.5 inch metal board that is like the type on Graflex Speed Graphic cameras. I'm not quite sure if that's the type of camera this is for, but it looks like it--- I suppose it will fit other cameras too, and I'll rely on you to know which. Anyway---- it's a Big, Heavy hunk of Glass--- measures a little more than 3 inches in diameter on the front rim. I think it's from the 1940's or 1950's or thereabouts--- I'm not sure about that either. It's in used but Very Good Cosmetic Condition--- and also Excellent Operational Condition. The exterior finish has some very minor wear--- some minute scratches and nicks--- and.... the prior owner (it came from a photographer's estate) must have opened it up to clean it--- there is a big scratch and a few other minor marks on the front and back Retaining Rings--- caused by slippage of the tool. But it doesn't affect operation--- it just looks ugly. The glass is almost perfect---- just one spot worth noting--- a 1/4 inch transparent "ghost" of a spot inside the front element--- it's clear, like a watermark--- probably won't affect much but it's there. Really nothing else bad or noticeable worth mentioning--- very clean and clear with just a few specs of dust. The aperture is working perfectly, makes a perfect circle and the operation is smooth, BUT there is a Lot of oil on the blades. But it works fine. Continental US Shipping will be $13.50. It will be packed well and safe. International Shipping via the ebay program. PLEASE READ THIS--- By Buying this you also Agree with this: Reality check.... I am not Amazon or a professional Camera Store seller--- just a camera collector/shooter selling a surplus of Used items. I'm not here trying to rip anybody off or sneak one past you. But that said... I'm not into having things go back and forth based on Opinion, or risk "part swapping" either. So it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Buyer's Remorse, No Try-outs, No Returns... Sold As Is--- Old and Used with possible flaws. If you don't want to accept that policy--- move on, please don't buy it! I try to be detailed and truthful but I can't describe every millimeter of it, so there may be a nick or blemish or a couple specs of dust that I failed to mention... but they would hardly diminish it... unless you expect everything to be Perfect and Like New. It's Not Mint, so don't expect it to be, but it's pretty darn Nice for a Vintage, Used item that's about 75+ years-old. What you see is what you'll get and I package my items well, so it arrives in the same condition as shown.
