Default Ignition Shielding identification help

I received this top ignition shield piece with the '67 small block car I bought last year. I'm 99% sure this isn't correct for a C2 Corvette. I'm asking the forum for help to identify what year car it fits so I can sell it in the parts section or on eBay. If anyone has an opinion as to what it is worth, feel free to share that as well.

Thanks,
Rick

Arkhack --

You are correct -- the photos are of a C1 distributor cover, earlier than '61, as it has holes for attachment on the rear skirt, rather than 'slots'.

I'd say a 56-60 for a car without fuel injection.

Thanks vark_wso and gbvette62 for pointing out the queues that identifies it as a non-fuelie 56-60 top shield. Now that I know what it is, I can put it up for sale because it is of no use to me
