They're Beseler overhead projector fresnels (Part #680-32-27) with a focal length of "about 9 inches" and they just got them in this week.

Shipping is a flat $5 no matter how much you order.

Get 'em while they last! I'm sure they'll run out within days of this posting. Wish I could get a commission from their future sales! 😉

Nice find K if only u could find us some triplets 😉

Surplus Shed has some triplets, but most of 'em are really small and may not be useful for projection...

There is one with a 60mm barrel, but it's 6" long and again, probably not useful for projection.

Also of potential interest is an anastigmatic projection lens...

And a Telex Super Sestar 2" projection lens...
