Old OLMO Age? Low end but interesting lug work Year?

I picked up this OLMO a few years ago, all of the decals were long gone, and it was missing most of its original components. It did originally come with Balilla center pull brakes and a cottered crank. The interesting part to me is the lug work and rear drop out. Despite being a stamped drop out, I really like the detail work on it. And the lug work is better than what I have seen on basic bikes too.

I've rebuild it as a SS/FG. This is Clemson country, and I am hoping the Clemson orange will catch someone's fancy.

Right now, I am guessing 1970. 120mm rear spacing.
