I believe, but am not 100% certain, this is pre 1937.
I'm confident there are those here on the Barn that can dictate correct applicable years.
As kube said its a Heavy Duty Air Cleaner.....here is one on our 35 German Ford for comparison. AS Kube also stated I have personally seen them on and up to 1936 but I would imagine that they could/would have been used on 37 and probably on past that. Our 35 Ute also has one, I have seen them quite frequently On Aussie Utes as they were probably very common for cars destined for the "Out Back" of Australia. Maybe MercManfromOZ will have photo's of some on the later V8's???
