Dating Fender Fuzz Wah, Help!
Have had this guy for awhile and have no idea how to date it. I can't find any kind of serial number.
There's a snake in my boots. Someone poisoned the waterhole!

Take it out for a fancy dinner maybe.
I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist.

Well, you're certainly not going to get very far calling him an "it."

Re: Dating Fender Fuzz Wah, Help!
There's most likely a date on the pot -- can you see a number on it?
Format should be something like MMMYYWW
where MMM = manufacturer code
YY = year
WW = week
That will give you an idea at least when the pot was made.
From the look of the rest of the components, I'd say early 70sish?
I have a Fender wah/tone like yours, but I can't access the pots to read the codes w/o pulling it apart.
