Hi Ken: I don't see an image of the lens in question... if you intended to post one, can you check at your end please?
IF you didn't post an image, perhaps consider doing so?
Does this help in any way?

Did try and post images BUT my tablet didn't give me the option. As suggested have moved house and desktop computer not yet organised to log into internet. I see that it is a Thorndon-Pickard, and likely made in the late 1800's, and worth about 100 euro on sale

Thornton-Pickard was a name associated a long, long time ago with studio (plate) cameras. Constructed of wood, many had no shutter mechanisms, relying on the use of a lens cap and going back to the era of flash powder.
