Yes, that serial number would be from the 30's. The "orangeish" lacquer was the original lacquer that King used for many years, so it is probably all original. I think that it is probably a King model 1250, but I am not sure if the model numbers were different back then. The current equivalent model would be the 2350.
Sorry, I sold my extra King leadpipe, but fortunately these are readily available from any good shop.
