Re: Date for Graflex Series B RB 2 1/4 x 3 1/4

"Date for Graflex Series B RB 2 1/4 x 3 1/4
The serial number of the camera is 391569."

391569 is in a series (390640-391639) dated 05/13/1946 as 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 RB Ser. B Graflex.

When it was actually manufactured can only be guessed at.

Possible closer dates: 194768 through 195861 on 11/02/1936 195891 through 196380 on 01/04/1937 197083 through 197832 on 02/22/1937 198638 throug...

Re: Date for a Speed Graphic Serial number 845474

Sorry for the long delay...


845474 is from a batch dated 2/10/1950, from 845218 through 848218.

When it was actually made is anyone's guess but it is nearer the start of the numbers so 1950 would be a good guess.

Re: Inheritance

I found a number 37377 stamped on the inside of the camera body. Could that mean something? Yes, it would mean you have a camera that pre-dates Graflex :) Where the serial number is depends on what type of camera it is. Generally, they are on the inside of the box, usually somewhere at the top. I w...
