My bass... how can I tell how old?

I've got an ancient Selmer Bundy bass clarinet I picked up at a pawn shop a few years ago. Only $200 and after a little tlc it played beautifully, I thought it was quite a steal. I'd really like to determine it's vintage... it looks 70's or earlier to me but I can't be sure. Not even sure of the model... I'm hoping the Selmer model 33, but it's not marked anywhere, and it's resonite not wood. It does have a serial # of 5171, which sounds pretty early to me.
Are there any resources I could use to look up that serial? Or anyone else have an old Selmer bass that knows it's year of manufacture, maybe I could place it chronologically if I know your year/serial #?
