How old is this trash picked blower?

[grass cutter]

Recently I got this older stihl B6 60 AV handheld blower that some guy was going to throw out. He said it ran, but only at idle. I took it home started it up and found that it would run OK on half choke. I figured it was probably running too lean. I took out a screw driver (got to love those old 2 strokes with the high and low speed needles in a place that you can actually get too) and adjusted the high speed needle. Now it runs great! Only issue is that it smokes like crazy, but I just want to know how old it is? Thanks for any help.

Try doing a search on Ebay that may narrow it down somewhat. Or do a Google search for "Stihl power equipment history".
