Is the wrench hollowed up inside the shank to make room for the porcelain
part? You need about 1.75 inches to get fully down on the hex of the plug I
have and not touch the top contact.  The hex looks like it is 7/8" between
parallel flats.

Maybe it is for something else Edison made, like battery post nuts or even a
movie projector part.

Tire iron was really the wrong word.  Lug wrench was what I meant,  
but this appears too light for that function.  Also odd that it would  
say Edison for that function.  I agree that it looks too shallow for  
a spark plug, but perhaps there were some with relatively stubby  
upper porcelain and terminal sections?
