Anyone heard of OSCO speed equipment?

Got given this air cleaner top years ago for a flathead Ive got but never used it, done some reserch but I can't find any info on it or the company. Wondering if anybody can shed some light on the company?, clamps right up to a '97.
Its quite a nice peice and I was thinking of getting some more cast.
Thanks.

 

Probably had a screen that screwed on the front, and was a spark arrestor for marine

 

Well im guessing at that rate it aint speed equipment then!!

 

In 30's and 40's OSCO made
marine conversion stuff for Ford
Flathead and other engines. That
carb "scoop" you have is actually
a marine "flame arrester" and would
have originally had a set of fine-mesh
bronze baffles installed in the mouth.
