How late were these given out?
Part of a tool kit?
Do todays CAT natural gas engines have spark plugs like todays car engines?

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

Starting engines were an option to the end of year 1969.

The only one of these I ever saw was in a toolbox on a Cat 30 that sold about 20 years ago. Most folks wouldn't know what the C T stood for. Most of the give aways were cheaply made and the wire type was usually sandwiched between two pieces of tin. I preferred the ramp type as one just slides the plug around until it stops and read the gap number.
I would bet there are not a lot of these in circulation!! 😊 😊

AG-M I think you are right they look pretty good for a giveaway. They look like they may have been a giveaway if you bought a Cat!! The guy that had the Cat 30 did not have any other Cats and of course no ponies. I wonder if the gauge came with the Cat 30 as the guy never threw any thing away. Maybe some early gas experts could help us out. I would guess they did not come out in WWII as there was such a demand for AL for aircraft.

Yes C.T. Co. does stand for Caterpillar Tractor Co. Back in the 30's and before allot of items and machines had that on them.
