New Old Stock. Hopefully describing some little gem of a spare that has been hiding away for 40 years in its original grease proof wrapper.

While an NOS steel part is truly a find, beware paying a premium for parts that are 30+ years old and may have deteriorated in the meantime.

Especially suspect is anything rubber. You are much better off buying a recent aftermarket part than an original if the passage of time alone is a factor in deterioration.
