Grandpa's VLJ

I was handed down this on father's day. Dad said it was bought in the 60's but the zipper is a 1950's Conmar track. I don't know the date of the Conmatic puller.

The Conmatic zipper was introduced in 1954.

Thanks for that. I guess it could still have a 50's zipper and been purchased in the early 60's. I am trying to nail down the date of MFG.
