Gibson A5 two point 'Jethro Burns'

[hhold]

Hi,

where can I find what year a Gibson A5 two point was built? Model # is 42871.

Thanks

1962 I think..

Most any vintage guide to Gibson serial nos. would have that one. Gruhn publishes a nice book on those numbers. Looks to be an early 1962. Number should be on the orange oval label as seen from inside the hole.
