Cool 1920s?

The Bass looks well antiqued to me. I do not see any visible repaired cracks which would be more common than not on Germanic factory Basses of that period. I would not jump to dating a Bass by its tuners alone which actually look older than the Bass to me. If this is 1920s, then the Varnish has been gone over at least. Show us some more pictures of the Ribs (full side profile) to help date the Bass.
