I have no idea, it was on the car when I bought it. But it appears that bubba got to it first and the lid was jb welded to the hinge. It finally snapped off yesterday so I'm either going to be cheap and jb weld it back on or buy a nice new lemans type if I can find a cheap one.

Is this lid worth anything?

Yep, '62 nose emblem. Worthless now but a nice wall hanger. I put mine on my vintage Sun scope.
