Dating Voigtlanders

I'm quite keen to know roughly how old my newly acquired Vito B is, i notice the serial number engraved in the side of the lens, wondering if anyone knew where i could find out the age of my camera?

You'd be lucky to find a serial number list, but you can probably place the year (+/- 1) by the lens/shutter that is fitted. Try web search or go to camerapedia.com. Too lazy myself, but my rough guess is '56-'59. I've got one and I like it. Hope that helps.

Claus Prochnow's Voigtlaender Reports could be of help... very detailed.
