Got a break in the weather to get out for some metal detecting. Besides lots of scrap pieces of iron, was able to find a piece of metal with an old International Harvester emblem on it. In the same area, uncovered a couple old spark plugs from the same era.

"Edison" - that's pretty cool !
 
Some very interesting finds
 
Some history about your Edison spark plug:
In 1928, the Edison Corporation merged with the Splitdorf Electrical Company. In 1951, the Edison/Splitdorf Company was sold to Champion Spark Plugs. Between those years is when your spark plug was manufactured.
