I am interested in the Cooke lenses, and the MoD lens, and nothing else. Chances are the whole lot will be a bargain, but still too costly for me to buy the lot on my own.

This is a clear-out of old camera and enlarger lenses I have accumulated over the years. A mixed lot, with interesting bits and pieces here and there. Some were apparently used in an old Speed Graphic, and others on an early Toyo 5x4. The enlarger lenses are from a pro darkroom that closed in the 1970s. To keep things simple, refer to the photo and the matching descriptions. Please note, this is a one-lot clear-out sale - I will not split up at all.

I've sent a message about a buy-it-now price, but I'll probably be ignored. Also posting on LFPF in case someone there is interested.
