Can Anyone Date Cooey Shotguns - Year of Mfg. ?

[the spank]

I just picked up a nice - Cooey Model 84 - with bright Case Colors Sr # 679xx - 30" Full Choke - plain stock.

And, I'm trying to research its year of manufacture. (?)

Left side of receiver (muzzle pointing left) is stamped - H.W. Cooey Machine & Arms Ltd. over Coburg Ont.

Right side of receiver (muzzle pointing right) is stamped - Model 84 over Made in Canada.

It's nothing fancy, but in great shape for its age.

All input will be appreciated.

Thx. Dave

And still 10X the quality of any Turkish made single they sell these days!

And to think I had original boxes with the $39.99 price tag on them and they say they were even cheaper earlier

Cooey $39.99 - about the same time a Model 70 Winchester was $149.95
Our wages were low, and buying a new gun was always a stretch.

Funny I never witnessed that. Worked 23 hours a week at a grocery store after school at 95 cents an hour from grade 8 or 9 and will never forget when the union came in and we got the raise to 2 bucks. Thought I was rich LOL
One thing I don't see today is I always had a gun on lay away making weekly payments on it so it never seemed expensive must have done that for 20 years and every and I mean every month I toured the local shops to see what was traded or new in
