I have no i dea Hank .... i bought a version from 1950 about 8 months ago and it looks like it left the factory yesterday .....
My guess is that if you can get yourself a minty version ...... it will take quite some time to have it develop fog or haze .... but it depends on were you live of course ....... i am in the Netherlands so i do not worry but i see you live in Florida ......that sure is a tough enviroment for this...
Another lens you might look into is a Canon 35/ 2,8.also in LTM . (it's the 35 version of Winogrands famous 28/2,8 and draws about the same .. the 35 is just a bit sharper than the 28) ... i consider the Summaron better however.
The older Canon lenses have far less problems with fogging as far as i know... Sean Reid has one for sale at the moment
Here are some samples of the Canon 35/2,8
