Hey everyone,
I'm in need of some help dating my 3¼ x 4¼ RB series b and lens.
On the door behind the view hood the serial reads "132700" exact, I've tried referring to list but everything is far from close.
Now on the lens, it say's "Taylor - Hobson №121172. Cooke - Kodak Anastigmat 5¾ Inches f/ 4.5".
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, headlessdrifter.

Serial number 132700 is the first number in a block of 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 Graflex Series B serial numbers issued 6/11/1923. The s/n book may be mistaken about whether it is a plain Ser. B with fixed back or an RB Ser. B. Or you might be mistaken. Does your camera's back revolve?
Your TTH lens was probably made between 1920 and 1925. |
