Best Current Source for new A/C PF-122 1957 364 Nailhead Canister Filters

[buick man]

I went through may shelved stash of oil filter canisters that lasted me years now I need to restock.  I had some NAPA GOLD USA Made p/n 1121 canisters.  Currently, I found on ebay a canister filter that the seller reports to be made by WIX. Comes with corked ends just like my NAPA ones had.  Of course all the A/C, Napa and WIX filter units are paper based. Also at this time, I am not interested in changing over to spin on filters although I do have a 59 base filter boss for the adaption sitting on my shelf.  So short question is what are you " period correct " guys using for a filter source ?  Thanks in advance

I found a Baldwin P-25 canister element that uses Hydro-shield technology for improved supposedly performance better than just paper based.  Anyone tried this one :  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010HJJZY?tag=oilfilter-text-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&ref_=nav_youraccount_switchacct&returnFromLogin=1

Baldwin used to be a 3rd-line filter brand, but apparently they were purchased and now are very good quality products.  Rather than trust what Amazon has on their website, look at the Baldwin website directly.

I use WIX. WIX is a good product IMO.

Thanks guys, I purchased the Baldwin P-25 filter.  I have run Baldwin on my other everyday cars due to their overall specs.  Did not know they even made these canister filters for our cars. I'll see how they look and work.

I have some nos filters if you are interested, a couple different brands I think

Thanks Lance but I'll go with this one.  The older NOS ones may or may not have internal or paper issues due to age or latent storage issues.
