Cal Custom History: Post what you know

I have a sand cast aluminum finned Chevy V8 oil filter cover. I can not tell if it is a vintage Cal Custom made part or a modern repo made by SoCal. Is there anyway to tell which comlpany made it? Bill Large

 

In my search of Cal Customs history, I came across the H.A.M.B and I have learned so much. I took it a step further and found some pictures from Eastern Auto Catalog. I am a bit new here so I'm not sure if it is okay for me to post the links. I have the pictures and could upload them but I wouldn't want to take credit for something that does not belong to me.

Lastly, I am in the market for a cal custom finned horn relay cover and have had no luck anywhere on the net. Is there anyone out there that has this part and could enlighten me by giving me a part number or show me exactly what I'm looking for. Better yet, someone interested in selling one.

Thank you very much!

Welcome to the HAMB and please fell free to post info. Thats what were all about here, but it never hurts to give credit where its due.

 

I saved most of the pictures and can upload them in the event the link ever breaks.

Here is the link http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_...ma/eastern-auto-supply/eastern-auto-supply-1/ There are three catalogs, one of which we already have in here thanks to lurker mick

 

I have uploaded the pictures of the 1949 Catalog into a photo album in my profile and I think I managed to attach some of the pics
