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,
Tim

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
