Can anyone identify what year Fords this "Ford Script" Battery Positive Earth Cable was fitted to?

Not sure of the year that cable is. My 1942 Ford still had the Ford script battery cable with "Ford" and "USA" inscribed. My last employer has a 1939 Deluxe coupe with the same.

How long is it? The parts book shows 91A-14301 7.4 inches.

A few years ago I became the owner of a "51 Ford Custon coupe. The ground cable from the head to the positive post on the battery has the same script. The longer I become familiar with this car I believe this is original. The length appears appropriate as well.

This Earth Strap measures 5.5 Inches, end to end

Could be replacement stock for Model A. The Model A battery sits close to the middle crossmember so it looks long enough. Original Model A was multiple copper strips, but the replacement looks similar to the one pictured.

From information that I have received on the Model A Forum, it appears that this Earth Strap was originally fitted to Model A Fords on the 1930 models, as it is 4 1/4 Inches Long - centre to centre. On the 1928 and 1929 Model A Fords, this Strap was 4 3/4 Inches centre to centre.
