orphan lens hood

I have an orphan lens hood and was looking for help identifying as to what lens did it go with.

I found a Leica IIIf and a couple lenses recently, the 73mm has a shade with it and the 50mm did not have one, but it doesn't fit  the 50mm, at least it doesn't fit the way the 73mm does ( they are both slip on).
 

The orphan lens hood is marked 42, I assume it means 42mm.

My Leica knowledge is very limited, so any leads would be appreciated.
I'm assuming it is a Leica hood, it is marked Germany and the slip fittings on it look just like the hood on the 73mm.

Looks like a Zeiss lenshood for prewar Contax 50 mm lens, no markings or logo

Thanks, I appreciate the response. I'll see if an online search finds anything!

It could also be an Ihagee lenshood for Exakta lenses.

This does not exclude Zeiss lenses, as Carl Zeiss Jena was an important lens supplier for Exakta cameras.

Unlike Zeiss and Leitz, Ihagee did not produce its own lenses, but acquired these from lens makers.

if it looks like mine it is Zeiss, I identified it after looking at an illustration in the book "Auf den Spuren der Contax" vol 1 writen by Hans-Jürgen Kuc.

I agree, mine looks very similar and the "42" looks exactly the same.
