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 (http://www.southbristolviews.com/graflexchange/). 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.

Type 55 is magic.

My sister's dating a Crown Prince, but I guess you don't wish to know that (and neither does my bro-in-law)
