Could be earlier
Hobut started in 1915
Bakerlite around 1909

But I’ve seen a similar one on fleabay stating it was 50’s

Can’t find any reference to hobut no:Zq 882.

I’m no expert I just cross ref photos on net,type in part numbers,look at manufacturers history etc

The trickle charge control looks similar to this which would back up the 50’s guess
