I personally make, paint, and ship these Ford Model A Engine Blocks. They are make from printed plastic and hand painted silver. They make a great Automotive gift for and Ford Car Guy, Car Salesman, or Mechanic. I find that they work well as a business card or pencil holder, but I have seen people use them for tools and brushes as well. If you have any questions about this Ford 4 Cylinder Engine Block or would like to know more about my other automotive gifts and car items feel free to message me.
