Vintage Fender speaker cable question

I have a Fender speaker cable with the plastic "F" caps. The cable is black, the caps are brown. Approx 3 ft long. The cable has "AIW Corp" embossed on it. I did a Google search for "AIW corp" and found a company called American Insulated Wire. I know the cable isn't a newer reproduction because I've had it for about 20 years. You can buy the repros for $20-$30 bucks online so I was wondering what mine is worth. I can take pics tomorrow when its light out.

Are the 1/4" plugs right angle or straight?

Is the cable black zip cord or round?

Don't know the value of your Fender cable, but this is similar. 20 years ago, I owned a '70 Marshall half stack, with what was most likely the original speaker cord.

I found the cable after it was in a box for several years. I posted a pic on the HFC, inquiring about it, and some here thought it could be legit. I put it on Ebay stating what I thought it was, but I had no way to validate it.

Sold for over $50.

I had the same thing on my late 70s/early 80s Silverface Bassman 70 head/cab. Little black round plastic caps with the "F" logo, pretty cheap construction (hey, it was CBS-Fender, right?!). I think the brown caps (should be really dark brown) are from the mid-70s.

Some guy with a 70s Silverface is probably scouring eBay looking for one of those right now! :D
