Welcome, from North Carolina! Most CVAs (as I recall) usually have the two-digit year as part of the serial number (or near it) - either at the front of the number, or at the end of it.

Hello!
Either set of digits would make sense. First 2(spaced from the other numbers) are 87. The last two are 18.
Thank you.

Thank you.

since CVA stopped making sidelocks in the late 1990s to very early 2000s, I would probably go with 1987.
