That’d be my guess too. Early 1950’s.Looks Pre-Lane, probably from the 1950s.
It doesn't look like a free hand to me, just a sandblasted pipe. Free hands didn't get their start until 1959.What is the line-up on the Reuben era? is it Free Hand?
It is not a FH, just a quite common bent shape 11. Same shapes could be both smooth and sandblasted.i don't think it is Reuben era, it should be much younger..and the shape number (11) exist but it is a smooth, not sandblasted : from 1951 catalog :
