You did just fine. That is a nice looking Victory.
From the Victory Model Database, which my collaborator LWCmdr45 and I maintain, I can tell you that your Victory was likely shipped from the factory in the July, 1942 time frame.
As for the wife's complaints, just patiently explain to her that one can never have too many Victories. She may never quite grasp that important concept but hope springs eternal.
