If you can give me the serial number I know somebody that can give you a
better idea of when it was made.

Greetings,

My Speed Graphic is s/n 454188 and it has a Graphic back leading me to 
believe it's of earlier vintage, but would appreciate whatever you can tell 
me about it's age.

I acquired this camera as a complete system with flash, meter, holder, etc.  
It came with a roll film holder; the "23" Graphic, knob wind.  It doesn't 
seem possible that the previous owner could have used this roll film holder 
with the 4x5 graphic back.  Even with a Graflock back, the holder is not 
much larger than 6cm x7cm, so how would this have been used, or was it meant 
for a Baby Graphic?

I'm off to New Mexico in the morning and I'll be taking the laptop, but I'm 
not sure how often I'll be able to check in to e-mail.  I'll also be taking 
the Speed Graphic along with a few other cameras, hopefully I'll get some 
time to use them.

Thanks!

Regards, Pete
