The furnace may be 10 but the duct work looks older.

Appears to be ACM like substance and it looks friable.

It sure looks like it, I would write it a suspected asbestos, Recommend a qualified contractor to review and estimate repairs.

Gary,

That is an asbestos tape that was used on all duct seams, back then.


Recommend encapsulation of "exposed asbestos looking material" due to it being friable.
