By the appearance, you might be better to look for one in good condition rather that trying to salvage something that's questionable at best. Also, I'm not sure I would risk getting abrasive into the engine by sandblasting an oil filter. Better to clean and chemically strip, then paint. Powder coating is overkill.

That said, I believe I have a nice one at my Oregon shop that was originally on my 1939 Six. As I recall it was dealer-installed but I'm not sure if it's the same as the one in the parts and accessories books or another very similar type. Whichever it is, it hasn't been used or even installed in any car for over fifty years!
