Unmarked Dutch O

Hey guys and gals...hope you're all having a good Sunday.

Need a little assistance on this one...#8 unmarked dutch oven. Any thoughts on manufacturer/date range? I don't have a pic of the bottom but all it has is the number 8 stamped in it. Thank you!

The lid is Lodge but I don't know the date range off the top of my head. The oven also looks Lodge but not 100% sure from what I can see. Both look to be in pretty good shape though.
 
The bail attachment ears are like older Lodge. With just an 8 and no "Made In USA", I would put it more like 1940s-50s, early in that range if there's also a raised molder's mark under the assist handle as is on the lid.
