I guess terminologies vary from country to country? In the UK, we'd call it
New Old Stock if it was an unused part in its original packing - e.g. Stanpart
or that of a proprietary manufacturer like Lucas, Lockheed, Girling. All would
rate as having equal status, originality and 'genuine-ness.' There wouldn't be
as much street-cred for another unused 'as new' part in non-identifiable
packing. I suppose the desireability for such a part would depend entirely on
the part, whether or not its still available and how much someone wants to
have it for their car.

Subject: [TR] TR- non tr
list, what is the true
definition of NOS?. I purchased a part ten years ago
from a vender. the part
is still in the original plastic bag, unopened.
can this part be put under
the classification of NOS? or is there another
term that should be applied
to a ten year old new part? and finally, for a
original part from the days
back, what would that be called? larry schwartz
