Dating cabs by serial # alone is tough. But there are several era indicating features you can use to judge. A plywood rear panel, for example indicates pre '72.
A better method is to date the speakers. Celestions will have a date code stamped on the frame. Typically two letters followed by two numbers. Indicating the week and day. Of course, it wouldn't be any fun if the codes didn't change over time, so ....they do.
A great resource is Doyle's History of Marshall book. There's a whole chapter on celestion and dating them.
