maybe 1951....

the reason why I am saying this for a few reasons...

1 you said it has a GE on it.....so I am guessing its a GE Form 79,

the othe reason is that this one has some extra parts like the mounting to the arm part.....
and other stuff....
this light probably was on a pole like this.....see a lot of the features are pretty much the same...

take a look at that page....

but I have a bit if a hint yours might be older......try asking others also....
