I have some Zeiss Ikon Pro-Tessar for a Contaflex Super camera. The lenses have the bayonet-type connector. The blade diameter is a bit shy of 35 mm. The attached picture is by the iPad camera so not very fancy. Any ideas about who might make a correctly sized adaptor to the Sony a6000 E-mount?

That's the Contax C/Y mount, there are several Sony E mounts adapters for it available on Ebay from Fotodiox, Neewer, Metabones and KF Concept. Anywhere from $10 to $140.

Those lenses you have appear to be pretty old. One word that stood out and was known to me was "Zeiss". A name that is connected with quality glass. Hope you find a suitable adapter.
