JUST A PAIR OF OLD AIR FILTER CANISTERS

These are believed to have originally been installed on a BN1 that was parted out.  They’re just the standard Burgess brand air filter canisters, although a previous owner apparently painted the perforated outer band red to match his car.

Note the “hammer finish” top covers, believed to be the original paint.

Nothing special here, just a nice pair of evocative relics that provoke a warm feeling in those who appreciate these things.  It’s a bit like looking back through time, and that time long ago looking back at you.  It’s a connection that keeps the past alive.
