In a box in a closet, I have my late father-in-law's Pre-Anniversary Speed Graphic, which, if I recall correctly, has a 127mm Ektar. I also have a wide angle lens on a lens board. In the distant past, he gave me an earlier Graphic which had an uncoated 6-inch Tessar 3.5 lens. It went the way of numerous swaps as I changed my low-cost gear collection. I even had a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 Busch Pressman at one time. But my meager darkroom equipment has been in the attic since a move back from Florida in 1966.
