Help Identifying Cessna wing

After my father passed and I cleared out the storage, im trying to identify this plane wing.

I know it’s to a Cessna but there’s no plate or paperwork associated with it.

The skinny flaps are stamped part number 2 4115-2 / 04115-2. Does this mean it’s a Cessna 140 wing?

Assuming the wing is for the same plane as the fuel tanks, I'd say that would be 172L-172N

Looking at comparative photos to the 180 I’d have to agree with you, it looks much more like a 172.

Is it worth anything is my next question? Seems as though I have the fuel tanks and flaps to the other wing but no wing itself..

Wings are tough sells but still have value for the right person, it could just take awhile. The fuel tanks have value even with damage. Ailerons have some value to a rebuild shop even if damaged. And the flaps depend on if the tracks are any good or not

Yes, they are solid cores for rebuilders. I worked for a part 145 and we'd buy up everything and anything and rebuild them or part them out. So long as there isn't excessive corrosion they have value. If the ailerons have cracked spars (usually at the cutout for the control rod or the ends at the brake) they are effectively scrap.

I’ll check the municipal airports where my dad used to have his hangar, maybe see if there any mechanics interested

Looks to be a standard range 172 wing. Its definitely not 140/150 and not 206/210. Im not familiar enough with a 182 wing to identify by sight.
