Craig,

The Cooke Series XIV f/6.3 lens was made from about 1935 through about 1950
for portraits and commercial work with Panchromatic plates and films. They
were designed for portraiture and studio work.  They contain three
elements.  The 21 inch covers 14 x 18 inch plates, 530mm.  "The Cooke
Series XIV lenses are designed to give images varying in scale between
one-fourth the size of the object and infinity" says a Cooke lens catalog
from 1935.

I forgot one lens in my list for the "Whole lot O lenses" questions...

It is a Cooke Anastigmatic 21 inch Series XlV F6.3  in barrel.

Info?
