I came into possession of this manifold heater along with a load of 30's Ford stuff. I can find one reference to it on the internet as a 1930's Ford V8 accessory heater, but that guy wasn't sure. Has anyone seen anything like this so I can positively identify it?

That’s reminiscent of what a Volkswagen bug uses for a heater.

I can't identify the exact year, but you have the heat exchanger for a Ford hot air heater system. The other missing components are a tube-scoop which ducted air from near the radiator down to the intake and the ductwork and vents which take the hot air from the heater into the car.
Not many people want to install this on their cars today, but it still is a neat old Ford part. I would not scrap it. I'm sure someone might want it.

It IS 1939 / 1940. It has been cut and truth be told is pretty much worthless.
I'd tried to sell NOS with zero interest at a low ($25) starting bid / no reserve.

It's kind of sad but the reality hurts at times... lots of this stuff just isn't worth much, if anything, these days.
Tried selling a NOS exchanger for a '37 truck a couple of weeks ago. Same thing... $25 starting bid, no reserve and zero interest.
Set it out for the metal scrap guys just yesterday.
