Help dating a old leather jacket

[Guttersnipe]

I picked up up this horsehide jacket last weekend. I'm not sure how old it is, I was thinking maybe 40's. What do you guys think?

Did you look in all the front pockets for a union label? Both of my 30's leather work jackets have their labels there.

Yeah I did...

There are the remains of some sort of tag in the left hand-warmer pocket, probably a size tag judging from the shape/size, but no evidence of a union tag

I was able to find out the "Daniel Boone" company was in business 1938-1973. However, I don't really know enough about leather garments to be more specific.

I was hoping somebody might be able to point to details of styling to help date it.

My guess would be 1950s. The vertical-zipper upper pockets and dual-pocket system on each side make this a dead ringer for a late 1950s Sears Fieldmaster I have and an early 1960s Sears Oakbrook (essentially identical to the Fieldmaster) and I wouldn't be surprised if successful designs were regularly copied by other makers.
