Default Plane Kit Identification

I need to know if anybody can identify the kit manufacturer of this plane. It was built between 1950 and 1960.

Thanks for all the replies, a more accurate time frame for the build of this model would be around 1958-1962. Was Jack Stafford kits around during this time?
