Can someone please help determine the date of manufacture for my RB Graflex Series B. The number stamped into the underside of the top door is 154561.

Thanks,

Gandolf,

Thanks.

I wish I knew more about the history of the camera, but I never saw Dad use it. I believe it went into the attic for the last time when he left for WWII, and before I was born. I didn't know it existed until long after he'd died and Mom was cleaning out the attic (~1982).

The only thing I had that indicated a date was a packet of brochures and manuals in a custom printed Graflex envelop post marked in the early 1940's. I was guessing that was when he bought it. But now a 1926 build-date throws a different light on the subject. Hmmmm, Dad would have been 15 in 1926...

Thanks,
Tim
