I thought this was a unique find. This was found here in Tennessee on the property just browsing around. (Lot's of debris left here throughout the years)

This is an Almquist Sparkomatic spark plug. Ed Almquist was a forerunner in automotive engineering; designing such inventions as the floor shifter and these 6 electrode spark plugs that were supposed to last 6 times longer than traditional plugs. He formed the Sparkomatic company which he eventually sold and went into advanced lubricants. Thanks for looking! -Luke
