Photography Asked by mkkm on April 15, 2021
I have a color photo from Crete, Greece. Maybe around the 1960’s? The size of the photo is 4-1/2" x 3-1/8".
There is no border around the front. On the back, there are no printers logos. The only thing there is a long number that is printed almost the full width (about 2-3/8" across): 034020540. With a spaces between each number. And before the first number, 0, there is some kind of rectangle printing mark.
I also have other photos that are black and white that have similar long numbers in the back.
How can these be dated closely?
Thank you.
You probably can't, unless you can contact the shop that originally developed the photos. And that is highly unlikely these days, as most shops that used to develop film or sent it out for development no longer do so, if those locations are even open.
The number on the back of the print is likely a serial number or counter of some sort, perhaps with some more information encoded in some of the digits. But unless you know the brand of developing equipment, or at least some information about who provided the service, you're probably out of luck.
