Hi all,
a few months ago i bought myself a dallmeyer 3b complete with it's original set of waterhousestops
the serialnumber is 36530.
Can somebody tell me when this lens was made ?? Just curious.
thanks
alex
Nice find! Approximately 1886 according to http://www.antiquecameras.net/petzvallens.html With any luck, Sean MacKenna, keeper of the Dallmeyer archive, will drop by and confirm the sale date and original buyer.

So my Rectilinear 1a at 40877 must be within a couple of years of this one.

And could anyone date 3B #84266? An early 20th century lens is all I can guess.

Mark, I seem to remember that Seán's ledgers only cover the 19th Century.

62000 was reached in 1900 - so this will be soon afterwards. Perhaps 1902/3/4?
