The fact that it's marked "MACRO" makes me believe it's a 35mm bellows lens
Companies like Novaflex made bellows with a threaded lens panel. I know that pentax screw mount lenses were around 42mm and I think Leica screw mount was 30something mm.
1. Large format lenses generally have shutters (Sinar make a shutter that replaces these)
2 I have never heard of a large format lens engraved "Macro".

It could be a copy lens ... maybe designed for Haloid or Xerox copiers which
were made in Rochester ... which is where B&L is also. Probably for 1:1 copying
but possibly from their larger format copiers. It has a diaphragm built in. That
is good.
