Default Check out my rack!

Calm down guys not what you think... I have a luggage rack that came off of a '61 coupe. It is not a repro according to the original owner who said it was a factory option. I ended up selling the B instead of restoring. I am not a big fan of racks on 356s so I will probably clean it up and sell it, as I will never use it on my C. Can anyone help me identify it? Is it a Lietz?
It has no markings at all. I have not polished it yet, but it should clean up nicely. Any ideas on it's value if any?

I think that it's an AMCO luggage rack. It sure look like mine. Although it isn't a factory option, it was a popular dealer installed alternative around here.

Definitely not a Lietz.

FYI, cleaned up pretty well. Some pitting and surface rust, but no penetration or flaking chrome. I only did a quick polishing. Sold on E Bay for $120.00
