Nikon Nikkor Telephoto-zoom F-8.5-25 cm

I have one of these -- The very first full frame 35 mm telephoto zoom lens (if you exclude a Voightlander product of the same era that was never made in quantity) circa mid 1970's
Based on the SN it seems to be from the first production run
Item was discussed in the Nikon Web Magazine a few months ago
Should be in a museum somewhere
Anyone know what it is worth-- make an offer

These were made from 1959 to 1969, SN's from 157901-164175. Total production run was 6,265 units. Earliest ones were two ring models and the later ones were one rings.
Value varies widely but demand is low as they are not all that good optically. Good conversation piece though.

Attached find a pic of the item
SN is 158037 which puts it early in the production run indicated by previous poster
Not clear re ref to "One ring" vs "two Rings"
Zoom is internal via push pull sllder near the middle, while focus is via the large knurled ring near the front
Close focus is 13 ft which can be improved via the shown front closeup filter
first timer here hope the pic is attached
