Just got this tonight at an auction. Odd that the logo is prominent on the lens. Any ideas what it is? Says 8 1/2 on top reverse LEVEL to left middle. LINE to right middle. Patents Pending and 7 7/16 at bottom reverse. Logo says WING CO. St. Cloud Minn. Thanks!
Almost think I saw similar lens on a Pan. I'll see if I remember to look at the Pans on display if I get up to the Pantowner's swap this year.
Wing Co. was around at least as far back as 1921. Their lenses were approved by the Iowa State Highway Commission at that time.
