Age of my old Valley rubber?

A questions for the Valley experts out there.
Just had Ridgeback rails installed on my Valley barbox and took the cloth off of one of the old rails out of curiousity. In addition to about 300 staple holes at the end of each rail and lots of missing wood - I have this Valley logo on the rubber. The table serial # dates to 1979 and my parents bought the table from a local vendor about 20 years ago. I have read that they stopped using U-23 rubber in 1989..but can someone date these further from the logo? It looks old :p

Thanks!
