Early NOS light lenses, who has a cracked or missing lens?

[Jesse McCauley]

I scored this box of NOS lenses, all different sizes, all unmarked.

These are early lenses, all the edges are rough cut, seemingly hand ground.
When you look at them at an edge the glass appears blue, a characteristic of early glass.


Anybody else have any broken or cracked lenses?

Jesse, let me look at my Mead tea cup lens and find out the diameter of it.

do you still have any left, the lens on my light is chipped, it's a hair larger than 62 mm in diameter?
