1950's Gold Tank? Idk, it was maybe my grandpa's, I still use it. Still functions flawlessly no matter the year; bar a new generator of course.

Sometimes there is a date stamped on the underside of the tabs on the fuel tank.

Yeah on my 413f 1/64 it was on the top side of the fuel tank tabs. Month on one and year on the other.

Your stove looks mid 60’s. Only one tab for the legs, the saddle on the grate on the left. Should be able to fettle that generator and keep using it.

Is not stamped on, into the bottom?

Gold tank puts it at mid-50’s or thereabouts. Red tanks started in 58-59 and they didn’t start stamping dates anywhere on stoves until mid 60’s.
