Default Age of aluminum fans?

I'm trying to determine when the engine in my 31 roadster was rebuilt. The car was garaged for the past 19 years so the rebuild was done before 1995. It has a two blade aluminum fan. Does anyone know when these alum fans became available? That might be a clue as to when the engine was redone. Appreciate any input anybody might have.

I got one from Snyders in the late 90's. I bet if you phoned them up someone could answer your question.

I got my first aluminum repro two blade fan from Snyders in the late seventies, I think 1977 . I don't think that the new aluminum fans had been on the market for very long at that time.
