Subject: [CR] Old Mavic Label - How Old?


I just ordered some decals from Greg Softley, including this "early" Mavic sticker:

http://ebay.com/<blah>

My question is, how old is this "early" Mavic logo? Is it early 60's or was this used in the 50's or even before? I looked through Jan's Golden age of Handmade Bicycles, but results were inclusive. Some rims seem to have stickers of this shape, but one can't see them clearly enough to tell if they are Mavic. The only closeup of a rim sticker is of a Mephisto rim.
