Heavily soiled but I was wondering if anyone has a catalog that can tell me the years this was made. I searched the web and came up empty

Does yours have the pin at the 1 & 24 end to keep the ends aligned when folded?

Pins are at 11/13.

You are correct … sort of. I was going by old memory, had to pull mine out to check. Different model, my pins are on the narrow edge. I wonder if the little stars are supposed to note the location of the pins.

I cannot tell you the years it was made but if I had to make a guess , then 1930's for sure; before then say from 1900-1920's yes quite possible...
