WFL Speed King ID?

I just picked up this Speed King from the WFL era. It was $39 from a music resale shop. I offered them $30 and they let me have it. I don't know when the pedals went from saying WFL to Ludwig. Anybody got any clues for me?

Hi
I believe that version (the final version of the Speedking pedal) was introduced in 1950. The WFL footplate was changed to Ludwig in the late 60's and this "final version" was changed from gray to black in 1990.

I have a WFL Speed King pedal & a Ludwig/Walberg & Auge hihat with the WFL footboard.

Hope this helps.
