I will break set apart and will sell for $50 each. If you want all three I will sell for $100. So basically buy two get one free. Please let me know if you want to do the set and I will change the listing to reflect the price.
Step back into the fascinating early days of the Atomic Age with this original set of three vintage Firestone spark plug boxes proudly advertising "Polonium (Radioactive) Electrodes." These highly collectible boxes represent a unique chapter in automotive and scientific history when manufacturers explored the use of radioactive materials to improve spark plug performance and ignition efficiency.
Featuring striking orange-and-black graphics and bold period typography, these boxes are outstanding display pieces for collectors of automotive memorabilia, radioactive antiques, scientific history, Atomic Age advertising, and unusual technology artifacts.
Polonium-enhanced spark plugs were marketed during a brief era when low-level radioactive materials were incorporated into consumer products. Surviving examples with original packaging have become increasingly difficult to locate, especially in groups like this.
