It sounds like a bellows lens for the pre spotmatic era cameras.
I think they had a smaller thread mount than M-42. It might make
a pretty good enlarger lens for big enlargments from 35mm if the
thread size is correct. I wonder how much it would cost to have
an adaptor cut so it could go onto an M-42 bellows.......
