Okay,

I give up. I tried to find Petzvals and Dallmeyeers on that site in terms of dates. Didn't seem to go there. I got lots \of into about prices and such, but not the serial number to manufacturing date data.

Please help.

Hey Tim

Go to the"Petzval Lens" page on Dans site and scroll all the way down near the bottom until you come to the "Antique lens serial #/Date column.Way at the bottom. Dallmeyer only goes to 62000 and as I recall, Seans records stopped at 62000 or so.

BTW- Serial 62000 is 1900 so your lens was manufactured a few years later. so 1903-04

Thanks for the information! My lens is from ca 1862. Sorry to hear the person who had more information, has passed. Didn't anyone got his book or something?
