That revolver, made in 1952, would not be stamped Model 18. S&W did not assign model numbers until 1957. If you have a K22 Combat Masterpiece made in 1952, it should be a 5-screw frame and in excellent condition would be worth at least $700.
The Smith & Wesson Model 37-1 was introduced in 1972. It is a variation of the Model 37, which was originally released in 1952. The Model 37-1 featured improvements and modifications, including a heavier barrel and a revised internal design. This model was produced until approximately the early 1980s.
The Smith & Wesson Model 37, known as the Airweight revolver, was produced starting in 1952. The serial number 21JXXX indicates it was manufactured in the late 1970s to early 1980s, as the "J" prefix was used during that time period. For an exact year, you would typically refer to Smith & Wesson's serial number lookup or production records.

The Smith & Wesson Model 38, often referred to as the Airweight, was first introduced in 1952. However, to determine the specific manufacturing year for a particular model number like 268694, one would need to reference Smith & Wesson's serial number lookup or historical records, as the exact year can vary based on the serial number range. Generally, for more precise dating, consulting a firearms expert or the manufacturer's records is recommended.
