Okay don't mean to bomb you with questions but I got 2 more for ya...
Weight? They look like there ment to be played sitting.
And price?

Elricks are known for their light weight. The bigger top horn adds extremely little weight. The 5-string was 8lbs IIRC, and the 6-string is a little over 9.
Price is...pricey

Yes, it's a 1964. It was featured in an article on the T-Birds in Vintage Guitar Magazine several years ago. I purchased it from the vintage bass dealer who wrote the article and it was in my hands when the issue came out - pretty cool.
