The microscope gallery on the steindorff-berlin.de website (https://steindorff-berlin.de/Instruments/Gallery/gallery.html) shows a microscope with serial number 54541, which suggests that objectives of this type were in use in the first half of the 1950s. The author of that same site explains here that from the 1950s onwards the year of manufacture should be read in this way: https://steindorff-berlin.de/Instruments/Microscopes/microscopes.html

This objective is finished in black and white styling. A decade earlier Steindorff still used brass objectives or ones in a gold and silver finish. On the objective shown here the company name appears as "Steindorff & Co̱", with the word "Berlin" on the second line; by the early 1960s, however, the objectives were entirely silver and carried the inscription "Steindorff Berlin" inside a border serving as the logo.
