Brought some of these back from the farm. Are they any good.? I brought it in for a want ad but it was not what he was looking for . How old of a design is it? I never saw any that are three piece.

There was one for sale here for 75$ but it was missing the top plates. I’m sure it’s a 175/200 intake.

Typical Offenhauser intake setup. Their slant six four barrel intake uses the same adaptor - well, the same type of adapter, except four holes instead of two elongated ones.
As for when it was introduced, I'm pretty sure back in the late fifties, right after big block mopars came into existence. Offenhauser advertised their 360 degree intakes (i.e., single plane) to counter Edelbrock's 180 degree intakes (i.e., dual plane). Last time I checked, Offenhauser still produced just about every thing they ever produced. I have their finned aluminum valve covers on both of my small blocks and also my slant six. Their V8 intakes are pretty outdated, and won't make the power that more modern intakes will.

Inner 4 bolt patter likely is the pattern for the WCFB carb. I can get a measurement and photo later today. This carb would have been from the 50's or so, I have one on a 341 Desoto.
I also have these. I was told the single 4bbl top plate is for boat application. Is that correct?
Ive had one sitting on the shelf for years. Good old school intake. You can fit WCFBs, AFBS and with the adapters AVS and Holley 600s. I’ve had mine up for sale for awhile. They show up at swaps and go for $250.00.
