That serial dates to either ca. 1914 or ca. 1924-5 according to the Washburn book. Stylistically, I think it's the earlier date.
However, either the resonator or the whole rim appears to be a later addition - it's hard to tell which from these photos. So all I can say with confidence is that the neck and dowel appear to be from ca. 1914.
