Wow.. from the look of the burner, top plate, screws, knobs, and feet, according to that this is an oldie - it appears to be a version 5 which according to them dates between 1926 and 1931. It might be twice as old as me!

Phat,

Look on the underside of the tank. There should be a one or two letter date code stamped there. There might be some extraneous other markings as well, but generally the tank is stamped in the center with one or two letters. That will tell you the precise year it was made.

NICE stove by the way. Major score.
