Anything to sell (WTS) or looking for anything specific (WTB)? Anything advertised on this forum comes with the usual "buyer beware" advice; it is up to the purchaser to assure themselves of the integrity of the supplier and item being sold. It is also the responsibility of the seller to ensure that payment is forthcoming before parting with said item.

FS: (SOLD) 1840/50's CC Harrison lens

Post by Andrew Plume » Tue Jun 29, 2010 2:53 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Manufactured by CC Harrison of New York and numbered 1946 w/o waterhouse stops but c/w both working radial drive and built in lens hood and being very well mounted on a Sinar sized board

For it's age, it's in excellent condition throughout - the glass is in as A1 condition as you would hope to see (for a lens of this age) - very nice brass, with no chips, dings, haze, fungus or whatever

I just don't use it so here's the chance to own a piece of 160 year old history

I'm still mulling over the price but if (very) seriously interested, pse pm me and I'll send photos thro' - sh&i will be in addition

Overseas, paypal only pse - UK - bank transfer pse for the Sterling equivalent

Our US cousins simply love these old Dag type lenses - I thought that I'd give it a run here for a few days to see if there was (any) interest - it'll probably go quickly when posted on that site

So, if you need a break from modern optics/getting stale with the lens(es) that you currently own, then give this a try

Approx 7" tall, 3" for the rear element and 3.5" at the hood end

Thx for looking
