Dating An Old Washburn

No puns on the title please 

I have very old Washburn parlour Model 1915 (which I'm about to put up for sale).
Is it possible to date it from the serial number? - 42894

    Not so much the serial, but the label itself may be the clue.
    They made the 1915 model from 1915 (!) to 1921, and some research seems to indicate that they only offered the 'one year guarantee' on the 1921 run.

    Cool guitar.

    Thanks
    I know it's old but didn't realise it could be 100+  :o

    It’s out of warranty. That will effect the sale price for sure. The Brazilian rosewood on the other hand, will help
