Technical Heater ID help please

Picked this heater up at a swap meet this weekend. Couldn't p*** it up for the price.
Just looking for some info on it. There are no marking visible on the outside. I haven't had a chance to dig into it yet.
Thanks for any info

Usually if there are no markings, such as an OEM part number or name, then it's a generic add on heater, commonly sold at parts stores back then.

 

Here's one that the guy said came out of a '46 Ford. Probably not original.

 

when you do a google image search for 46 Ford heaters, they don't look like that, they have three doors.

 

Thanks Squirrel.
Just looking for info incase I have start a spare parts search.
I see a few offered as 39-40 ford/mercury units
Looks like mine might be missing a part for defrost vent

yeah, it sure does look like a 39 or 40 heater. Notice yours had trim in the center part at one time, and a chrome case, and others have indented lines on the sides.

 

If you want a pair, you can get this one for $450 on the bay.....

 

Looks like my 1939 Ford heater - I took out of a junked 1939 2 door sedan 30 years ago. Over the years I have used this heater in 2 different 1939 Ford coupes. Put a NAPA 12 volt elect fan motor , works great .
