Hello. Newbie here. I've been involved in collector car hobby all my life, and I love searching for vintage car parts at flea markets, auctions, yard sales, etc. Recently on the 127 Yard Sale event I found a NOS camshaft in cardboard tube, with graphics and logo which looked like the 1950's to me. It was marked with the word, "INTERCEPTOR," and used a logo style for the letters on that word which I have seen before. I bought it and brought it home. See photos below:







Apparently this is an aftermarket high performance camshaft from the Interceptor company. Since the Ford Motor Company used the name "Interceptor" also, and since MOST of the stuff I got from that vendor was for Fords, I am ASSUMING that this is a NOS aftermarket camshaft for a Y-Block Ford engine, made in the late 1950's or early 1960's. How close is my assumption? Can anyone help me with this, please?

Following is a pic of the label with specs:
