Canon 35mm film cameras have serial codes located on the base plate of the camera.
You can locate serial numbers for Canon 35mm film cameras by turning the camera upside down. Look for the number on the base plate of the camera, close to the tripod screw. Depending on the date and model of the camera you have, the serial number will tell which factory the camera was made in and the year it was manufactured.
Instructions
1. Write the first letter of the serial number located on the bottom of your Canon 35mm film camera. This letter will tell you what year your camera was manufactured, according to Bob Atkins' website.
2. Write the next two numbers, these will tell you what month the camera was manufactured (the numbers follow the month during a calendar year --- January is 01 and December is 12). Ignore the next two numbers they are, according to Atkins' website, internal numbers for the company.
3. Write the last letter in the serial number, this letter will tell you which factory manufactured the camera.
