This is a good one to explore especially in light of the find earlier in the thread. May take some experimentation, but it would be nice to know...
I see damage to the O, the D, the W and the E.
Possibly. It's difficult to say from a photo but relative to the earlier post by Datdarenickelguy...it looks similar. I can identify a 1959...
