Someone salvaged folder lenses in my hometown, at least three, maybe more. Not my work.

This might be the source of several shuttered lenses I've brought in the past for adapting. :)
My first DIY adapted lens was just such a beast, fitted to a bellows via a modified body cap.

I hope the original cameras were in an unusable condition - but 10 years ago this probably wasn't the case as there was much less interest in using old analogue cameras.

Not innocent either, abandoned a Kodak Monitor 620 body to mount its Kodak Anastigmat Special (L) 101mm 4.5 on an Agfa Record I body so 120 film could be used. Polaroid Pathfinder 110-120 bodies and lenses for other projects as well. Some projects never finished when FF digital bodies became affordable.
