once upon a time , fram was a top shelf filter.
Looks pretty good for being 50 years old give or take.
how old would that have to be to NOT be a "A"?
Wow they really used to be a good filter at least that is what it looks like.
Huh.. they were already using fiber endcaps in the 60's...
(newest Model Year mentioned on the box being a '62, so fair guess that that's when it was made)
but over all looks well built.

Look at all that media. If current extra guards had that much media, I'd probably use them. I quit using them when I realized that had much less media than ... pretty much every other filter. I don't buy the claims of their media being so great they don't need to use much.
Thanks for sharing.
very cool! thank you for sacrificing the antique - and sharing! and apparently fiber end caps were always in the mix and were not a result of later "cheapening" of the filter
Same exact filter I saw in my grandfather in laws garage. I opened the box to inspect it and it had no rust or anything on the baseplate. One of the cardboard flaps fell off the box though.
Wow, how you brought yourself to cut that open is beyond me.
Even if it is a FRAM, that old filter belongs in the back of the bar or something.
Nicely built back then.

The tech hasn't changed much over the years........

That old Fram does have an ADBV. Is that what you mean by "anti-return oil thingy"?

Well, the latest reference on the box was 1962 and there is no zip code printed for the address of the company.
So you are saying the filter was built in the 90s? Dream on.
