Default Flame Arrestor

I have a flame arrestor that came off my '67 tri-power which I believe is original. However, it has the name Fischer Corp Pat. No. 38287094 on it but no GM. I also have the pcv hose clip with no markings on it. Are these original? I plan on offering them for sale here so it anyone can give me an approx value I'd appreciate. Both are in excellent shape.

That does not look like a oem PCV valve. The steel bracket sure is though

It's not a PCV valve. It's a flame arrestor...

The repro flame arrestor sells for about $30, and I don't believe it has the original markings. Based on that, it should to be worth more than the repro. Could it be worth twice as much, I don't know, it depends on had bad someone wants or needs it.

By the way, besides the 67 400 & 435, that flame arrestor is also used on 64-65 fuelies.
