I am thinking 1930 to 1940

I would date it pre-WWII because of the metal knobs.

I would agree. maybe a bit younger. Late thirty's too 1945ish...

I am thinking it is a tad newer. In the early days it would have most likely been bolted with some kind of mounting straps. This appears to use a zip tie or something similar to mount it. That texture was used by Kodak among others all the way in to the early 1960s. I am thinking 1950s because of the mounting method.

Whenever it was manufactured, it is super cool.
