Summary
A set of three green filters of varying shades. Each is set in a metal screw mount, but they do not fit any of the lenses, but rather have the same thread as the lens mounts themselves. The three are in a red leather cylindrical box with separators. There is also the remnants of a yellow filter. The top of the box has a gold label 'J H Dallmeyer Optician London'.
