I dont think I've seen one of these globes http://cgi.ebay.com/Standard-Motor-Gasol...1QQcmdZViewItem or even heard of one that I recall... what was it used for, and how does the spark plug come into play? Great graphic and condition, at least from the pic. Anybody? Thanks... Brian

Thats a chimney cap globe that someone has rigged a spark plug in. I don't have a clue why the plug is there or what purpose the plug would have.

...something about this from the other forum: http://bigcheesepetro.com/phpBBpitstop/viewtopic.php?t=2033 ...I've seen one of these globes before, it was listed as for sale on a vendor site; I called to find out how much it was - as there was no price listed - but the vendor said it was already sold, and was all 'hush-hush' about the sale and we couldn't find out how much it went for...

It looks to me that it may have been rigged up to burn natural gas or propane. If there were a glass chimney inside, and a gas line at the bottom, would that be a possibility?

Lets look at it this way. Supose no one had invented something that would make a light blind go on and off yet, so someone rigged up this so that the spark from the plug lit up the light on a regular basis. Possibly off something like a distributor.
Logical?
