Winfield, have you considered posting your query to a forum where people would be doing more than guessing?
It can be used up to about 60,000 years, IIRC, before present. "Present", in this case, is considered 1950, as I understand it.

It's often beneficial to understand whether one is actually making guesses, or just being a smart ass.
