chipper,
Unfortunately, we have little to go on other than serial numbers and approximate production start and stop dates. And a few indicators that WW-II production was higher than late 40's on. I keep hoping that a few more would turn up with the original invoices or at least a remembered original purchase date or year. But based on what we do think that we know, yours was made between mid 1947 and mid 1950, with the odds leaning toward the earlier date.
