Sound City Wah Face and Jen Cry Baby age?

[fernieite]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to determine how old my two Italian made wah wahs are. Any experts willing to chime in?
First up is my Wah Face.

No experts around these days, eh?

What about the ERT pot date codes? B11 and B10?
Thanks.

From the white trim and Pescara address on the Jen I'm going to say late 70s/early 80s, but that's only a guess. They churned out so many over such a long period.

Well, I contacted Geoffrey Teese, and he said the following about the Cry Baby:

"That one was built after the split with the Thomas Organ Company.  Judging from the tooling and components, I'd place that one in the early-to-middle '70's."
