The Ford Barn

This is the ID on the end of a flathead ford cam. 1A and then a light strike stamp that I am unable to read, followed by what looks like 0008. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be?

The problem with used cams even if you are able to identify the numbers, it could have been reground to something else.
The only way to know for sure what it is, is to degree it in the engine it will be run in.

Yes, I understand that. Any cam should really be degree-ed in to verify cam timing/specs. Just thought perhaps someone may recognize the markings on it and have an idea of what it was supposed to be.
