Just curious, has anyone ever seen this type of filter with the print on the inside?

I purchased it a few years ago from a GM dealership out in the boonies, it was hanging up in the attic.

It doesn't have &quot;BEST WAY&quot; or &quot;AC 212CW&quot; imprinted on the ring, however it does have &quot;MADE IN CANADA&quot; stamped in the ring.

Please disregard box as it did not come with one.

Any guess as to what year or even decade it was produced?

Thanks in advance. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

I've seen that filter on a few recent GMC trucks.

Must have been the environment it was stored in that has given it that aged look.

That's a typical later Service replacement with an &quot;expanded metal&quot; outer screen; there were about six different types of the A212CW Service replacements over the years, and none of them were made like the original production-line part.
