The two things I know to look for are the linkage (obviously, only the original linkage would tell you much) and the engraving on the bell. Different era Rudy's have a different name design engraving on the bell. I don't know the specifics but I do know that this is one way to determine at least a rough idea of date of manufacture. Good luck!
My opinion for what it's worth...
