4-11-P-A-3.......BG "HORNET" AIRCRAFT MICARTA SPARK PLUG, 1920/30'S..........Still in the original box, this cute little BG "Hornet" aircraft spark plug (model 4B24) is built with "Micarta" (translucent brown) insulation with brass top and four grounding electrodes......."for use in standard air and water cooled aircraft engines, or moderately super-charged engines" reads the box....... a pretty little vintage aeronautical item which will make a most unusual key for for your auto (assuming you don't have a Curtiss Jenny to actually use these plugs in!)........I have a box of these in new old stock condition, each comes in its own box as shown, and includes copper washer.......these stand about 2" tall.......each........$14

5-12-P-A-3........TURN AND BANK RESTRICTOR VALVE PLATE PLACARD......Another one of those items you won't probably see on a brand new Boeing.....the t&b restricor valve was used on aircraft that had either venturi tubes or vacuum pumps for spinning the gyros, but needed a regulator to obtain correct pressure......long since forgotten, these aluminum placards measure about 2.5" across and are in fair, used condition......I have a stack of 'em.....$4 each
