Congrats, you stole it!  With raised lettering and no date stamp it's a '78.

@Speedster- Here is a thread on a repair I have used.  Really clean and inexpensive. Just requires drilling one small hole.  I used SS hardware.

Congrats to this nice find!
Dont screw it. I would drill a hole in the bowl, clean and sand the socket where is in contact with bowl. Afterwoods do some weldingspots.
