Default Ford Script on Plug Connectors

Just came across a set of plug connectors (the brass strips that run from the spark plugs to the distributor body) stamped with Ford Script. Original??

I've never seen any like that . If they are original they are probably rare !!!

I think "Ricks" back in the late 70s, 80s put scrip on everything and called it show quality

They look wonderful but sadly, they are not originals. The script ones are also brass and not bronze as originals.

Kurt in NJ, I remember Ricks....And his 'show quality' script parts..And the infamous "Rick-Packs'. What a ripoff artist!
