Description:
Finding a new home for one of my favourite c-lens: the infamous COOKE KINIC 1 INCH f1.5 made by HOBSON TAYLOR or England.
The is an hard-to-find uncoated early version which can produce super swirly bokeh plus wonderful flare (if you can control it properly
). One example can be found here:

The optics are very clear with no scratches. Few small marks due to the age. It is made of solid metal. Due to its vintage, cosmetic is far from pretty, but no damage or dent, I would rate it as fair. Most importantly, with a cheapo c-adapter, your micro 4/3 camera could produce wonderful swirly bokeh and beautiful flare, totally undreamed of with the standard kit-lens.
Real Name: Lee
