I bought one very similar to yours recently and I am having fun fixing it up today.

I finally found the "EH" # on the crack housing It is pretty faint and double struck The first number only has part of a line at a slight angle could have been a 4 or a 7 , second number is defiantly a 5 and then EH. From what I read this style was sold from 1958 to 1970. So what I am thinking is that the first number is a 7 making it being built in 1957, but sold as a 1958 model does this sound correct? I'll post pictures when I can get them off my phone.
The serial # is C18 11 80 and found on the drop out.
 
Very likely a '57 built '58 model. Otherwise, D would be '62, wouldn't have a BB code though.

A = 1959 ~ G = 1965
B = 1960 ~ H = 1966
C = 1961 ~ I = 1967
D = 1962 ~ J = 1968
E = 1963 ~ K = 1969
F = 1964
