Hose bib age

Working on a job today and a customer gave me a bucket of old fittings and valves, including this hose bib. Does anyone have a guess on its age? It's already on the shelf with the other old stuff.

Almost looks like a regular pipe thread instead of a garden hose thread.
I don't think that one is that old.
I am thinking of one of the old porcelain sinks. Seems to me they would have a hot water valve and a cold water valve (no mixing) and the cold would have hose threads on it. Chrome plated brass with the TEE handel1 -
The knob looks kind of similar to the valves I removed from our house when we moved in.
Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

As expected, you're absolutely right @Steamhead. I just found a Standard Sanitary catalog from that era. Seems they offered one with a tapered thread and one with a hose thread.Steve Minnich
