farnz Posted June 1, 2024 Share #2 Posted June 1, 2024 (edited) Hi Ole, My guess would be that it was owned by a newspaper that provided camera gear for its staff photogs from a pool of equipment and the number was a means of keeping track of which staffer had which lens.

Irondieter Posted June 1, 2024 Author Share #3 Posted June 1, 2024 Hello Pete thank you for your suggestion! That is a good guess. Now I just have to find the correct newspaper… 😉 Perhaps someone knows something - but it would be a luck shot since the glass is > 40 years old… Cheers Ole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
