KOPPER KING spark plug,what was it used in???

[worldtalker]

I've googled this and can't find anything that looks like it.It's not broken,but ,no threaded portion.Could it have been held in with a flange and gasket?Sure would like to know,neat lookin anyway!!!

Neat porcelain out of a plug. The steel lower threaded parts has long since rusted away. I find a lot of them like that too, sometimes with a little of the lower part still intact, sometimes not. I'd say from the 1930s or earlier.

I checked the internet and the only thing I could find was that they made automobile spark plugs. There were no dates given and practically nothing on the net, which leads me to believe they no longer exist.

Kopper King also made a take apart plug.
Like the one in this thread.

I sure didn't think I'd be researching spark plugs when I woke up this morning. I didn't see a green check mark yet, so thought I would squeeze these pics in before the gate closed.

1. Keep your eyes peeled for one of their "metal" boxes. It would make a neat go-with.

2. It looks like Kopper King made more than just spark plugs. Check out this chewing gum machine.

3. Speaking of Spark Plugs, meet my buddies ... Barney Google and Spark Plug. They average about $500.00 for the pair these days. (1922).

Now you can close up shop and call it a day.

Thanks.
