No date code, need some help finding age

[Yoster]

I picked this up today for $65 and I do not know what year it is.  It is in great shape and appears to be a dark gray with a stipple finish.  Three vents on the bottom.
Thanks for any help.

Here is the vent and handle.  Also what should I use on the wood handle to revitalize it?

+1 on Tung oil. 

I lightly sand/buff the handles with #0000 steel wool. After sanding I wipe them with a damp cloth and let them dry in the sun for an hour.  I like Tung oil. It really brings out the grains in the wood and is not to dark.  It's easily applied with a small cloth and wiped on.  It holds up real well to sun and rain.  If another application is required, no sanding is needed.  Just reapply the Tung oil using a piece of cloth.  Here are before and after pictures of a handle restored using this method.

What do you use for keeping the kettle so healthy and shiny?

I agree it's a 78!
I have black 78 in the same condition.
