Looking at the Case tang stamp/date code chart on the Case XX website, it looks like your stamp is from between 1940 and 1965

if you were in the median household income range in 1940 ya made around 1200 and change bucks a year. $6900 range in 1965. so that 5bucks was still kinda lot of money back then.

more bang for your buck in 1965 if the price didn't go up.
