I have this steel . . .

http://www.well.com/~wellvis/steels/Gibson/GibsonC-530.JPG

. . . does anyone know the age!

I know they were made 1956-1962. Mine has serial number 8-1899. Maybe 1958?

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Nick

Gibson has posted a discussion of their serial number scheme through the ages as a PDF file, available here:
