1955-57 Canadian Pontiac embossed V8 valve covers (265 or 283)

Title says it all. I have a pair of these very rare and sought after, canada only, small block V8 valve covers with the word PONTIAC embossed on them.

 

 

I will want 250$ shipping included for them.

The would make great shop wall art, or build some desk lamps out of them.

 Great! Thank God my wife isn't here to see this, another engine part I have no use for, although my daughter has taken over for her Mom, I can hear it now - DAAAAAAAD !!

I like the Caretaker of Rare Artefact angle though!

Here are some pics from the 1957 Canadian brochure showing these valve covers in green with gold raised letters.

It would be nice to get those photos in the thread I created years ago on engine nomenclature and colours below:

https://canadianponcho.activeboard.com/t26305684/engine-nomenclature-engine-decals-canadian-pontiacs-1955-197/

Any moderators up to add the  photos in the right place? The thread is closed and has to be opened to do it.

Thanks Carl, I got the photos loaded in the historical engine thread,

Just a reminder that it is a good resource when restoring or just shooting the breeze. I've added many similar threads in the Library over the years,

The postal service between Montreal and Toronto is exceptional so these valve covers are now in my hands in Toronto. Dropped at post office in Montreal at 3:02 pm yesterday, at my front door in Toronto at noon today. 

When you hold something like this in your hands your mind is filled with the nostalgia of this great country and all that the people who owned or rode in vehicle experienced over the past 7 decades. Just too cool to describe.
