Tiger Tom did sell these cast aluminum air cleaners back in about 1992 or
so. There were 152 units made; a unit consists of top plate, bottom plate
and the tiger head hold down nut. Each set was numbered and each piece has
that particular serial number. They were made in the Lehigh Valley, PA. The
last unit went to Wally Swift.
Someone in Florida made reproductions of this air cleaner but without the
serial numbers. I guess you could call these after after market
reproductions. :)
Fred Baum
Owner of set #71

Correct, I do believe Tiger Tom commissioned the first batch of that
air cleaner made from aluminum. I also believe he had them numbered and
he
kept records of who bought them and the corresponding number.
I also believe others have made copies but I'm not sure of that.
