new help to identify UHF Yagi

Greetings.

I recently found this old antenna lying in my attic unused. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it to be a directional UHF Yagi. I would guess it to be around 20-25 years old. The boom measures 70.5" It has 14 directors, 1 reflector, and I'm assuming the longer one on back is the driven element?

I'm trying to figure out who might have made it, what kind of gain it is capable of, and it's frequency range. I'm assuming it could probably achieve 15-16dbi? Wishful thinking?



I'm currently using this as my OTA antenna. I removed the old 300 ohm wire pair, and screwed on a 300 to 75 ohm balun. It's currently installed in an attic (temporary), and it does okay considering it's horrible placement. I have plans to mount this on an old Directv J-pole with a mast extender to get it outside and above the roofline.
