If it really is uncoated, I'd guess it's considerably earlier than 1950 -- most likely pre-World War II era. Kodak was one of the civilian pioneers of lens coating, and began offering coated lenses in December 1938 (although these were "soft-coated on interior surfaces only" -- not on exterior surfaces as the coating would be subject to wear -- so might look uncoated on external inspection.)This uncoated "Made in USA by Eastman Kodak, Rochester N.Y." lens probably dates from about 1950.
Hmm.. you were thinking the same thing I was thinking of doing. Shoot! That's too bad..I recently looked at a Kodak Magazine Cine-Kodak in a local shop http://www.marriottworld.com/stock_p...kodak15970.htm with a view to possibly using the 25 mm. f/1.9 Kodak Anastigmat and 3 inch f/4.5 Cine-Kodak Telephoto lenses with my G1. Unfortunately their barrels were too large to fit the C mount adapter.
