Reproduction Round Top Air Grabber Air Cleaners

Anyone have experience with these reproduction air cleaners? Can you tell them apart from an original? Anything to look for? I've got someone who is trying to buy an "original" but he thinks it looks too new to be original.

Thanks.

The first part I bought when beginning the restoration of my car was the orange round lid for my air cleaner from Legendary. It cost a fortune but is extremely well made and painted.

That probably doesn't answer your question though

If I remember right, there is a weight difference,,,,problem is I don't remember what that was

Do the round tops have a bridge spanning the carb throat hole like the oval and 6 pak If so there is an obvious difference on the repops in that part.

Yes, they have the bridge but it's different from the oval top air cleaners. I haven't found a picture of the reproduction with the lid off for comparison.
