Up for sale is a rare vintage Wollensak Optical Co. "Cyko Automatic" brass shutter and lens. Made in Rochester, N.Y., this piece is a fantastic example of early 20th-century photography engineering. Ideal for collectors, restoration projects, or steampunk decor. Sold as-is due to its age. Condition Notes: Shutter: Mechanism is functional. It fires and clicks on different settings. Aperture: The iris diaphragm moves smoothly, and the blades are in good condition. Optics: The glass has some light fungus (spider-web patterns) around the edges, but the center remains relatively clear. No major scratches. Cosmetics: Beautiful original brass patina with some signs of age.
