It's older than you might have thought from turnerriver's post; the use of 'tex' in the stamp is a clue. The first catalogue I have (I don't have 'em all) that shows the No. 990 is believed to be 1937 (Myres catalogues are rarely dated but a bit of 'twist and turn' can reveal a likely date). My image of that page is too fuzzy to help you much but this one from ten years later is more informative (even states Woodsman):
1943 myres maybe (3).jpg
