Earliest Serial Number on Any of Your Gear

[richterjw]

<p>The earliest Serial Number I sport is on my FD 20mm f/2.8: 13467. I have a couple of First Edition books but apparently nothing along those lines with my photography equipment. Anybody with anything fun or interesting?</p>

The lens is not original of course, its much older and it doesn't have a name or number.</p>

<p>I had one of the first Polaroid backs for a Nikon F3. I bought it from Forscher around 1982, new. I remember the number was around 4 or 5.</p>

<p>I had the first perspective control lens that Nikon came out with in the 1960's. Theserial number was written in deep red right on the lens. I made a trade with a fellow PN number for some other equipment, so I could not tell you what it was. </p>
