Serial number 17651 dates this lens to the early 1870s. The brass is in great condition. Glass is in really good shape with only minor small cleaning scratches. The rear element does have some pitting on the glass, but having taken many photographs with this lens does not effect the quality of the images. Great shape for nearly a 150 year old lens.
