Does anyone know when the Italian switches first started using a rocker bolster instead of a picklock?

According to Bill DeShivs, around 1957.

The square button Latama was the first to use the swivel bolster, but that bolster style did not become common on other Italian stilettos until after 1960 (approximately.)
