Cronos "C" Shutter

This is a Cronos "C" Shutter from the late 20's to early 30's, probably the latter. The shutter is mounted on a 2.5" x 2.5" aluminum lens board. The 3 blade shutter has a speed range of 1 to 300th's of a second, plus bulb and time. The aperture range is 6.8 to 22 with a 8 blade iris. The large handle on right front side winds the mechanism and the smaller lever on the lower left releases the shutter. It can also be released with a cable.

The lens is a 65mm (6.5cm) Perle f/6.8 wide angle.
