So, we've narrowed it down to pre-1947 due to logo being horizontal (on mine) vs angled (on yours). The perspective on your photo makes the guitar look a bit narrower. I assume you've measured the width of the guitar across the lower bout to verify that it is a 17" (432 mm) body width. The oval label itself goes back well before 1947, contrary to my earlier statement. It is possible earlier labels might have been hand-written rather than stamped, and the ink or pencil may have faded. The label in mine is ink-stamped L-7, GUITAR, and A-235 on the lines that are blank on your label. Your logo may mean the guitar is a little earlier than mine. Mine can be dated definitively to about May/June 1947 because of the early A-prefix serial number. Mine is still the script logo, which changed to the block logo on the L-7 later in 1947, judging from several L-7s I looked at when searching to buy one.
Yours is slightly different from mine, which is on a slant rather than horizontal. The serial number can be found on the back of the guitar's headstock.
