Item Name : Cooke 63 Hoxton Old Town London 7.5in Petzval Brass Lens
Serial no. :
History : John Cooke was at 63 then 126 Hoxton High St. London from 1862 to 1880,"Cooke of Hoxton" lens in an ad as does an 1881 BJP issue which mentions "J. Cooke" of Hoxton,other references from the 1870's mention John Cooke of Hoxton. So, clearly there was another seller of lenses named Cooke which had nothing to do with TT&H's "Cooke" line,Cooke appears to have re-sold other peoples products - so the lens was likely made by Jamin/Darlot or some other maker and sold by Cooke which was common practice.
