I took the old carburetor off of my one-barrel manifold and was looking at it. I couldn't identify it as a 1920 or 1945. The markings on it said Empire 12R-8835B (IIRC) and a bunch of numbers on the bowl. Are these worth rebuilding and and keeping as a back-up?

Got a picture?
The part number sounds like a 1945.
