Probably a little bit earlier -- the late 1920s.

Maybe. I say its 30s because I got it with another tuxedo dated 1936 whom I sold to a lounger here.

Wish we knew more about the size

Also maybe a measurement of how long the points are in the front,so they're no white from a waistcoat escaping from the bottom - always why I've been hesitant to buy evening tails without being able to try it on in person

That's a good request. Formal evening waistcoats (from the '20s to the '60s) were supposed to hang no lower than an evening tailcoat's front panel edges. This meant that, when tailcoats became much "higher" in the 1930s, the older (lower) waistcoats became instantly obsolete ... and men had to go out and buy the new, higher waistcoats.

Measurements are up sorry for the delay

No worries, thanks!
If you had to guess at a tagged size for it, where would you say it would fall?

Nice tailcoat but there's no such thing as a tuxedo jacket with tails.
