If the edge of the valve looks to be less than 1/16 thick they are probably the original type, if the edge looks to be thicker than 1/16 they are probably "modern" type.

There are also some original type valves ford made in the 30s that are stainless ---I don't remember testing with a magnet, but they never rust.
