"Jack E/NJ" - I feel I must respond to your statement "not a fake like Tubman peddles". I have always stated that mine were were designed to be replacements when the originals become unavailable. I have NEVER tried to pass them off as originals, and never would, as mine are clearly superior to any of the originals out there. I can't see the one in your picture clearly, but if it is like almost others out there, it probably has a split or two in the case. In addition, a condenser should be "tuned" to the coil being used, and mine are much closer to the proper value for a modern coil than the original Mallory's.

Keep yours "a treasured heirloom, [it's] tastefully displayed in a fine china cabinet and kept polished". That's where it belongs. If you need something to run reliably with an aftermarket performance ignition (or even a well tuned stock unit), feel free to get in touch with me.
