Stop in for a cup of coffee

Patina'd new old stock?
It's the original off a Jeep with all the patina of years of use.

Classic!

Buy a new part put the old one in the box.
Except in this case somehow it ended up back on a sales shelf.
Maybe it was a core exchange, or maybe it was a scam return and the counterguy didn't care or was in on it.

Anyway, now I know what an original looks like. LOL
part number stamped on it is the Jeep number mid 1980s application
