Hi!
I've just returned from having a live look at this camera:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4701&item=2934392347
The lens looks really clean and has the three engraved f/stop series. On the
back of
the lens is a square baffle that extends out about 3 inches. Probably to cut down
on internal
bellows flare.
The holders are designed for glass plates. Removing the top plate holder
reveals a
glass filter, I think it was coded blue. In the bottom of the case were two
Harrison
lens filters, but I didn't unwrap them. The whole package looks nearly unused.
Altogether
an interesting piece of photographic history to see up close.
Cheers,
