The inlays look like those used on their Professional series. There are a few websites that have vintage Kay catalogs but I couldn't find any from the 40's. A few years ago, I bought a Kay archtop and by checking out the catalogs from the 60's, I was able to determine that I had a Kay Mercury that appeared in their catalogs from '62 - '65.
Googling, I couldn't find any catalogs earlier than 1953, although there is one site (a pay site that I got a bunch of catalogs from a few years ago) that goes back to 1951. As luck would have it, I looked on Ebay and I found a pic of a '49 or '50 that looks just like yours:  Here's the link in case my pic doesn't show up full size: http://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-1949-195...item5d4d7d8446
