Hi Tom ;)

Not sure on the exact date, but definitely 70's.

"Fifth design. The Fifth generation of the Astro, is the most commonly seen 1970s model, and uses standard Astro bottles. It was the first design to be mass manufactured in one part. The lamp has no earth and it was more inexpensive to produce. Having said this, it is still a beautiful piece. The immediate sign of the 5th Generation Astro is the bakelite black plate on the base, which features the Crestworth details on the underside."
