Any ideas of the likely manufacturer date of a Korona View variation 2 with a serial number of 15? As far as I can tell from internet research, these were manufactured starting in 1909. So, I am guessing that #15 is quite early in the run. Any confirmation is appreciated.

The number your seeing is for when they where building the cameras in the factory so they can keep parts matching while being finished in batches. Please believe me you do not have the 15th Korona view camera manufactured. This model had many changes over the years and I doubt you have the early model/styling Korona View. shown here http://www.piercevaubel.com/cam/gundlach/viewearl.htm
You can overlook the history of Korona View Camera here in the Korona Gundlach catalogs. http://www.piercevaubel.com/cam/catalogsgundman.htm
Thanks, Louis. I had not found the site with the catalogs. The same site did have a photo of the camera I purchased and said it was made beginning in 1909, but it does not show up in the catalogs in 4x5 until 1920. Interesting....
