Hi! I am new here. I just got a great Graflex Crown Graphic 4 x 5 camera with the serial number 433571. Can anyone here tell me how old it is by this number? Thanks in advance!

Serial numbers 431871 to 436870 were assigned to a lot of 5,000 4x5 Crown Graphics on 6/3/47. Another block of 500 4x5 Crown numbers was assigned 9/18/47. When the cameras were actually made isn't clear, late '47 or '48 are the most likely.
