I have a 4x5 Crown Graflex, the serial number is 936413. I would like to know at least what year it was made. Thanks. |

Kevin;
The list of "Serial Number Savy" replies compiled by Shutterfinger lists the following:
935638 - crown - 1959
936431 - -- 1959
936509 - 4x5 crown - 1959
From that I would assume that your camera (s/n 936413) was built in 1959. As another possible confirmation of the date, an Ektar lens made in 1959 would have a serial number starting with the letters "RT" should such be the original lens on your camera.
While it is a bit on the speculative side to say so, it appears that the 93xxxx series were all built in 1959.
