The answer is spark plugs. I wil have my buddy post a photo of a kit I bought at Carlisle years ago a company actually reconditioned and sold set of 8 spark plugs they happen to be AC which if you played one of the other contests stands for Alfred Champion and later AC spark plugs.

Any rate you have to admit it is unusual to see reconditioned spark plugs packaged for retail. The packaging says quality reconditioned and tested!

It lists various cars up through 1966 models so it was in the heart of the GTO era. Unfortunately no price is on the package so I have no idea what they sold for.

That is the extent of this history lesson Mr AMC will post photo soon I hope.

Til the next mini contest....

Congrats to BMan.

Too weird really. I remember seeing some sort of Spark Plug Reconditioning equipment that would blast (glass bead?) the electrodes clean - when the plug was inserted into the special cavity designed to hold the plug. The machine (countertop box) I remember seeing in an old Auto Parts Maxhine Shop was a commercial item with mostly yellow painting...and was from post WWII time frame in the 1950s.
