When I bought a old 1948 vintage Ohlsson and Rice .23 glow engine, I found that it had a glow plug I hadn't seen before in it. When I took a look at the plug it looked like it had OR stamped in the...

RE: Vintage Glow Plugs from the early days

I think that the glow plug was manufactured sometime in 1961 through 1966 or so, just like mine.

RE: Vintage Glow Plugs from the early days

On your previous gold color plug, I would concur that it is a McCoy-Testors glow plug.
