A very large format Taylor Taylor Hobson Cooke Series II 13" soft focus lens, together with mounting flange.  Serial number 30305, which dates it to around 1916.  The engraved text to the side reads 'Taylor Taylor & Hobson Ltd, Leicester, London and New York, No 30305' and also 'Sharp, Soft Focus'.  Also engraved around the front element are the words '13 Inch Cooke Anastigmat Lens Series II, 10 x 8 inches.  The mounting ring is engraved TTH.  Total length 110mm, front diameter 90mm, flange 115mm, approx.  Weight approx 1.5kg, 3lb 5oz. 
  • Condition: Lens retains its original lacquer with heavy tarnishing. Iris intact, fully operational but a little stiff. Focusing ring also a little stiff. Optics are generally very good. However, the rear cluster has one very small (perhaps 3mm) area of fungus, there is a small chip (approx 5mm long, as shown in last image) to the side of the middle element, and the front lens has minor scratches and cleaning marks, also some residue to the inside which doesn't look like haze, fungus or separation and looks like it would probably clean off with a strip down. The front flange has taken a knock at some stage, as shown.
