The Human Crab

[Brian Moore]

I suspect that there could be inconsistencies with the included images in McKeown's and that maybe the 2 line embossing happened at random. Based on the images in the book it looks like what they show as a 1935 model. The image they show for the 1937 doesn't have the 2 line embossing but that model was made from 1937 to 1942. I would likely rely on a serial number list. McKeown's doesn't list serial numbers per year.

Thanks Gary. Found this. It suggests my camera is a 1937 production model. (There is a serial number that starts with "J" stamped inside the film door.) Also the lens serial number seems to match up for 1937. (2007566)
