The manufacturers mark on the back shows 1968 - it is the actual year. Mfr is American Tack & Hdwe Co. Truly a vintage 1968 piece. If you google (or go to bingo.com) and type "American Tack & Hdwe Co. 1968 light switch cover) will yield a lot of results. Some of those show a lot of wear and tear. This piece is in excellent condition and looks brand new. Thanks for asking!
