Help identifying part
My Grandfather recently passed and was in the Navy during World War II as well as own several auto shops and salvage yards in his life. While cleaning out his apt we found a wooden box with the Ford logo carved into the side of it and has metal fastenings on one of the side. I have a few pics I could send, but was hoping that someone in the corporate offices could help me identify it or if they would be interested in a piece of their history. I have search the internet with no success. Thanks in advance to everyone...

That's pretty interesting.
Does it have any openings at all?
I don't know what it is, but it looks vaguely like an electrical componant.
Have you tried a Model A site?
How large is that box?

no - no openings, althogh it is REALLY heavy for it's size. I'm at work so I can't measure it but if I had to guess it would be approx. 4.5" wide x 5" tall and 6.5" long. To be honest I din't even know where to start, so the advice about going to a Model A site REALLY helps! keep it coming please!

They were the original "flame shooters", guys used to put a sparkplug in the tailpipe, run a few wires...then driving down the road, pull the choke for a bit and trip the coil and ignite the rich mixture.
