I've got one just like it. Its the only one that i've seen in person. I've been told that it was sold by Western Auto but thats just hear say and I couldn't prove it. Sears, Montgomery Ward and others sold aftermarket replacement heads. Being as its just standard compression I would think that fifty dollars if you are lucky or more if you needed a head. I've seen the high compression version with model A in raised letters on the riser like the one that you've got on eBay with the heart shaped combustion chamber. They were calling it a police head . I guess who ever made them made two versions. The higher compression version would be worth a lot more.
