Help identifying this alternator

My '74 Carrrera came to me (the 5th or 6th owner) with the pictured alternator. I replaced it with a bigger one so I can install Vintage A/C. Is this worth anything? It was professionally tested and puts out 60 amps. I find no numbers on the case and would like to sell it on eBay. What else does this fit? Is the small crack in the case at about 4 o'clock hurt it's value.? Any help in ID'ing this would be much appreciated. thanx steve

Here are a couple of better pix with arrows at the crack(s). On closer inspection, there are two cracks. Is this worth fixing, just to sell on eBay? thanx again. s

Ivan,

A little American humor- we call our trash cans the “round file”. John is saying that it isn’t worth the effort to repair and sell.

now we're getting to the heart of the matter...it has no numbers, nor markings on it. highly unlikely to be original nor of much value, I wouldn't think. comments? thanx. s
