Can't quite date this Zippo... any aficionados in here?

Just got this one for my collection (I like beat up old Zippos ) but I can't date it.

Going by the dating chart (http://www.smokerstuff.com/datingcodes.htm) I can't figure this one.

The patent number is 2517191 is 53-59 but they all talk about dots next to the logo. This has none.

That's where I'm stuck!

look on the insert, I think they are marked as well

If the insert is original the patent numbers would simply match; wouldn't tell me more. This one does not match so it's of no use.
