That is really interesting.  Have you done any research on Grant Ray?

Subject: Interesting stuff

I am always interested in large format, old photography equipment.  Iâve been cleaning out my cabinets, etc., and found an interesting lens.  It is a Regno, Wallensak Optical Lens, 6 1/2 X 8 1/2.  Inside is penciled in around the lens iris, âUSS Fairmont, , G.S. Ray  USN, 1918.

 

Then I found this on the Internet :  www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-f/id2429.htm

 

This kind of stuff always excites me.
