I am not sure what info you want. It looks pretty old. Can you see any dinosaur teeth marks in it? If so it might be fossilized. :D The photos aren't quite good enough but I am going to guess it is from the 60's or 70's Somewhere around that time some of the shapers started writing info about the board on the foam next to the stringer on the bottom of the board.

If there is a hand written number on the board you can contact gordon and smith and see if they have a record of the board. Most shapers keep at least some info about every board they have made, identified by the number, and could probably tell you the age etc at least.

If you are hoping for something worth a lot, there are about 5 old surfboards worth something (because of who owned them) and the rest are not worth anything. Old surfboards are not antiques, they are just old. (you can still use them for surfing, of course)
