I plan to put it for sale and would like to know if its an authentic OE supplied 45 year old part with substantial value or just a mass produced cap that can be used as a cheap replacement alternative?

The "authentic OE supplied" Marrelli caps were mass produced for Porsche, as were the Marrelli replacement caps that were sold at the time by shops or dealers. They all came off the same production line, and are exactly the same part. There's no way to know if your particular Marrelli cap began its life installed on a new Porsche, or in a cardboard box emblazoned with the Marrelli logo.
But to someone who wants to buy the cap from you to use as part of a restoration product, it makes no difference. It's the correct cap for the restoration. You can't advertise it as an "OE takeoff part" because you can't confirm that (and no one really cares), but you can advertise it as a genuine Marrelli cap for that distributor.
Hope that helps, we happen to know a bit about being a manufacturer of OE and OEM parts.
