Old Schmelke. Any idea on age?

I picked this up in Idaho a yesterday. I’m a sucker for Birdseye maple. Big and fat, though lightweight.

14.7 no weight bolt
4.4 shaft

.87 at joint
1.1 at top of wrap
1.3 at bottom of wrap
1.35 at buttcap

Is there anyway to date Schmelke’s? This is the first older one I’ve seen with a normal pin.

I don't think that one is terribly old.

And standard pins aren't as unusual on old Schmelke cues as some think.

They had their old catalogs online. I can't find them at the moment but I think they are still online.
