Dating an Orpheum...the banjo kind that is :}

From Bob Kemper on 8/23/2015 6:46:09 AM

I've been reading all the threads on the problems with Orpheum production dates, yet with all that information, I still need help from you guys. 

I have a well cared for and beautiful Orpheum No. 3 Special Plectrum. It has an 11" rim, archtop raised tone ring, resonator, Paramount tailpiece and with the red and blue Rhettberg Lang tag. There is the patent number but no serial number. I can find no evidence that there has ever been a serial number.  The dowel stick seems to be original as does everything else. Any ideas?
