What letter is on the lid vent? That will determine the year. I'd assume 90s. It also looks like a master touch with an ash pan and not the ash bucket like the OTGs have. Master touches were introduced in 1992 I believe. It's likely it also had the ash bucket but was removed to replace the ash sweep with the newer H drive sweep. Looks clean from the photo you posted.

Did older grills have the lid holder? As far as I know just a hook on the inside. That makes me think it is either not older, or an add-on. The heat shield by the lid handle is suspect as well, and the ash pan is a newer style that fits between the legs instead of wrapping around.

Could be an older grill that was refurbed, but I am going to guess it's newer.

At any rate it appears to be in good shape. If the price is right, go for it!

There was a One Touch Plus in the 90s that had an ash pan instead of a bucket.
 
The Master Touch has an ash can, this one just has the catch pan, hence, One Touch Plus or OT+
