Original AC PF24 oil filter or repro?

I pulled this off the Firebird today and was wondering if it is a reproduction or an original AC filter from way back. (If so that worries me if it has been running the same oil filter for 40 years)

As I said "that ain't no repop"

Thanks Norwood,
Any idea what vintage or are we talking an actual 1973 piece?

That's a real deal filter.
I think GM stopped using the embossed letters on the bottom of the filter around the mid 70's so you have a filter that is close to 40 years old.

I've got oil filters in my basement that I bought more than 10 years ago. He may have had a stash that he was working off of last time he changed the oil. Doesn't mean it's 40 year old oil.

Hopefully that is the case here.
