What year was this Parker 953 made?

So I've got this Parker vise model number 953.
Can anyone here tell me when it was made?

(And yes, I know the jaws are off)

Thanks.

According to Dayid's website, most likely in the 1940's.

It's not a 1930 patent vise so it's late 40s early 50s.

Just got done restoring it and getting some custom paint work done.
Pics to follow.
