Thank you
Just buy some nice flowers & tell her she's pretty ...
Data available at graflex.org. 931850 is quite late.

It's like dating a Deardorff, but from the other side of the tracks...
for a more serious and accurate answer ask over at the graflex exchange. There is a thread dedicated to serial numbers and production dates.
Yeah, I tried dating a Crown Graphic, but she left me for some old photo-journalist...
There should be a sub-forum for "Topics titles that make good straight lines".

Now, candy is dandy
and liquor might be quicker.
but for my pretty Speed Graphic,
Type 55 is magic.
