Hi guys I recently came across this Auto-Lite Spark plug display, it's in great shape and I can't tell what time period it's from...I haven't seen any of this type but I have seen the orange/yellow display that just lists the cars and part numbers pop up a few times. It still has some boxes and spark plugs in them in the back. Any idea on value on this peice? Thanks!

Dates from the late 30s through the 40s.

Would be helpful if you could list some of the brand names of vehicle applications for the plugs. That might help narrow it down but it's safe to say 1930's-40's by looks.

That one sold for $550.

Generally speaking complete nice condition cabinet alone should bring around $300 without plugs. Figure original plugs in mint boxes average 5-10 with rare plugs driving the price more than the cabinet.

MY DISPLAY IS VERY SIMILAR. THE PLUGS ARE NOT REAL BUT VERY NICE SILK SCREEN METAL MADE TO LOOK LIKE A STACK OF PLUG BOXES. luminor89 THE BOXES MAY NOT BE REAL ON THIS DISPLAY EITHER, SO IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET INFORMATION FROM THE BOXES. I AM MISSING THE CENTER INSERT. I BELIEVE THEY HAD SEVERAL DIFFERENT INSERTS AND COULD BE CHANGED. I HAVE SEEN ONE THAT THE INSERT WAS A CUT AWAY DISTRIBUTOR !!
