Depending on the size, it looks like and old carburetor fuel filter.

I know my 67 chevy had some kind of oil filter like that but it has been modified to accept modern filters maybe an automotive forum could help you out. You can probably sell on E-bay some car buff might be restoring to original.

I think it goes to an old Plymouth (39) or an old Dodge it also showed something about tractors I googled perma-bronze oil filter and it came up but no picture.

'everlasting'.... that's a pretty far reaching term.

And ya lol that's a far strech, wouldn't make good business sense to make something that u never had to buy another of no matter how good it is .....

I see there's a patent date on it...1955/6? (can't read it well from picture). I see advertisements listed for them from 1955-1960, but they're on pay sites, so I couldn't view them. (or include a meaningful link).

It's a sintered bronze filter, made to be removed and washed out and reused. I don't know what it fits, but that style of filter was used on equipment and vehicles from around the 1940s and 1950s.

My 1958 dodge D-100 uses that type of filter, It goes in an external canister. [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]The 230 engine uses a bypass oil system .
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]The oil pressure relief valve is designed to divert oil to flow through the filter when the pressure exceeds 46 psi (and when the temperature is above about 135 degrees F)
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica]This feature helps deliver oil pressure to the bearings as soon as possible after starting an engine, since during those few seconds while the pressure is low, all of the oil pump's capacity can be routed, via a shorter route, directly to the bearings. When the engine oil is warmer (and thinner), it can pass more easily through the filter, so the valve allows it to be diverted through the filter.[/FONT]

To wash it out n use it again sounds like the K&N filters now thats pretty neat


Thats pretty cool the way they had it workin like that in a 58'
