Need some help

[alon]

Found this old plug a couple of weeks ago. I can't find any markings anywhere and was hoping someone could help me with a manufacturer and era. I've never seen a plug like this. Is it automotive or something from the lawn and garden section?

There is one in this Ebay sale that is similar.

It is hard to say what brand it is, but it would date from the early 1900.

Looks like the Spark Plug to an old pan head Harley Engine maybe 1938-

There are similar plugs in my dad's 1930 Ford Model A.

It's a copy of a Champion "X" three piece spark plug. Used in some of the old hit & miss engines and old autos. I think they came out about 1900. Tony
