Hi, dbass. :-)
I found a two page print ad for Gerber's products described as being of 1979 vintage that shows the same bassinet on the second page:

"Mom brought along
my Gerber Bassinet, so
I can nap at Grandma's
house just as easily
as I do in my own crib."

Babies are our business...
and have been for over 50 years.

Maybe I should have explained why I transcribed that one caption about Gerber at the bottom of the second page of the ad.
The vendor describes the ad as being from 1979. I don't see anything on the ad itself that pinpoints the exact year.
Gerber was founded in 1927, so it would have been fifty years old in 1977:

The caption at the bottom of the second page of the ad reads "over 50 years," so the ad can't really be any older than 1978.
