Check the serial number under the leaver. The initial letter will give you the year. C = 1946 through W = 1963 (one letter per year). Both Y and Z = 1964. AA, AB, AC, AD, and 68 = 1965 through 1968. 69, 70, 71, and 72 = the corresponding year (1969 - 1972). Starting in 1973, the year of manufacture can be determined by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100: Example: SN 2512345 would have been made in 1975 [100 - 25 = 75].
