I started a previous thread on this; seems I cannot add to it. Please search under "Winfield" and my FordBarn moniker.
First, many thanks to you members for the expert help & opinion. Greatly appreciated. Secondly & a subject reminder: my brother-in-law was a San Jose, Ca hotrodder in the 1950s;he passed away a couple of years ago & I inherited his antique parts & 1947-64 hot rod mag collection. He was extremely honest and very financially secure. One item he owned & we'd often discussed was his "Winfield overhead for Model B; I never knew if he meant Gene Winfield or Ed Winfield.
Today I was able to talk on the phone with Gene Winfield. He confirmed to me that he NEVER had Oakland Tool & Die manufactured such an item for him (10 were commissioned about 1953). That means this head, as some members here estimated & accurately, was n Ed Winfield product.
