Alan, I think it is from the mid to late 50s, possibly early 60s. The casting is rough, not as smooth as the reproductions made in the 70s.

You are right, an original from the 20s through early 40s are going for a "boat load" of money. Something about it caught my eye and for the price (less than $15) I couldn't pass it up. LOL
