I have a funkey 1930s enlarger which came with a lens which is of about the same age. The only reason I keep any semblance of a wet darkroom is to use this lens and this enlarger. While my friends on the IRC send me post cards printed conventially, I get a hoot out of printing postcards on Ilford postcard paper in b&w. And my method of choice is the 1930's enlarger. And after reading your court case regarding you eye surgery, I am surprised that you can tell the difference.
