Can anyone tell me the year of manufacture and about what it's worth?

Thats an early and desirable pistol. Its commercial and not US military. Hard to guesstimate its value. You might ask on one of the 1911 websites. I did dig this up for you:

Colt M1911 Canadian Contract: S/N C5400 to C16599 = Sept. to Nov., 1914 ( Only
5000 pistols in this serial number range were shipped to Canada.) Caliber .45 ACP
