Hello, I could use some help on dating this one. No date code on the slide.  Thanks, Lou

Likely in the first few years of production.  Useful websites (not sure if they're current):

I've got one of those, a No. 3, with no date, that I figure is worth a million dollars to the right collector.  I just need to find him/her.

Hello, Bill. Thanks for the reply!! If you find him/her, convince either one, or both, that they need a No. 4 to go with yours!!

I have one like it that has the patent number 1. I looked up the pat. number and it is assigned to a Mr. F. Flintstone.
