Description

I think maybe the lens was bought seperate? It was handed down to me after my mother passed away and I believe it was handed down to her by her father. It could be older than that? Though I doubt it. I really know nothing about cameras or lenses and have seen very different pricings on what look to me like all the same exact lens. It seemed to me the lens itself was maybe worth more than the camera?

History All I know is my mom cherished it and always wanted to go to a camera store and figure out how to work it but she (nor myself) are very good with cameras...or anything with working parts really. I received it after my mother passed and am curious when and where it came from...if it is indeed an antique? Classic antique? Historical antique? There is so much information out there I don't even know where to begin!
Price Paid (If known) Handed down to me
