According to the big book of Coke, this style, with Pat # 2033088 came out around 1943. If it was from the original run of these it would have "April 1925" stamped on front. The problem is many of the reproduction examples have indentical markings. Here is a very informative link for you.
I agree .... with coke items there are so many reproductions and as a result it makes it contradictive in researching the pieces and their value. I would agree this pieces is circa WWII and estimate $20 - $30 US in its condition. Often a pat date is not indicative of the time it was actually made.
