Titan 10-20 tractor plug

[Greg Wann]

Here is something I kept my Dad made.  It is a spark plug for a Titan 10-20 International Harvester tractor from around 1918.  It is walnut wood that sort of gives the look of the plug firing.

Thats a cool thing to have and like you say the wood grain really sets it off

Yes, Dad was pretty creative.  I grew up on a farm in Indiana between Mellott (FLAGTOWN USA) and Newtown on 341.  These two towns were a thriving metropolis when I was young, a lot of businesses existed then.  Both towns are pretty dead as far as any business exists now.  The only thing that is left in Newtown is a feed mill and the OLD 55 whiskey distillery that has only been there for a short period of time.  They are the only distillery in the world that makes whiskey using sweet corn.  Newtown has a rich history though.  Famous for corn husking events and the local farmers who had a band that practiced at the bandstand at the park that still exists...well, the bandstand is still there..  This is Richland Township.  Home of the Richland Red Devils when there was a school there that I attended growing up.  We had a F20 on the farm.  You had to crank it to start it.  It was a 1930's model year and I think it had a factory installed road gear.  I'm pretty certain it was originally on steel wheels but I might be wrong.

Its much the same where I am, most of the local business have shut and nearly everything left is a tourist trap now
