My initial thought was a pepper grinder but couldn't figure out why it couldn't be reused. That's why I went with something more industrial for an application.[:)] Something similar to those little pellet stones for the tip of a propane torch, just larger scale. I'll still go with the filter type thing. Gas or fluid, I don't know. Maybe it regulates flow also so it could be two, two, two mints in one.[:D][:D][:D]
Or neither.

Hello again.. here is what the bottom inside looks like. notice the fluted inside that looks like the "orange grater" but is not the same size so it does not fit tightly.

as far as the exploded view: on the left the top "stopper" went in the top and it broke off when someone was cleaning it. before that it was not free to be removed but part of the whole thing. the "orange grater" and little cup went in the bottom.

I'll tell you what that looks like [8D]

Spark Plug. here is the patent
patent 1015843 dated 1/30/1912

Corey Rules!

But I got these questions on how Marg's bits went together. And did they reuse/refit spark plus back in the day? Schmidt assigned to Champion. Would that make the "C" in WDC, champion. Who is WD?

I've got a few old ones that look unlike Marg's. I just like the poreclain bits with the transferred logos & names.

" Albert Champion

Albert Champion (1878-1927) was a French bicycle racer. In 1908 he founded the Champion Ignition Company to make spark plugs in Flint, Michigan. In 1909 the name changed to AC Spark Plug Company, after his initials.

Champion won the third edition of Paris-Roubaix in 1899. His win came as a surprise because he was known as a talented track racer. The 1899 Paris-Roubaix was paced by small motorcycles. Track racers were accustomed to this and it worked in Champion's favor. After his win he traveled to the United States to earn money racing on the velodromes. (track racing at this time was more profitable than professional baseball) He raced behind motorcycles and earned a comfortable living. Champion earned enough money to be able to afford a race car.

In the United States Champion was involved in a crash that left one of his legs two centimetres shorter than the other. He accommodated this on the bike by using crank arms of different lengths. He returned to France and won a 50km race on the Buffalo track in Paris and in 1904 became the national motor-paced champion. The race reopened the wound to his leg and he was taken to the hospital in Boucicant. While in the hospital he saw another fellow rider brought in with injuries from a crash at 90 km/h (approximately 56 mph). Seeing this ended Albert Champion's bicycle racing career." From Ken.

I see spark plug was mentioned.It does look like that as well.But I've never seen one with a aluminum bottom like that.All the old ones I find never have much left being made of iron.Looks like aluminum would melt screwed in the head of a engine.Also looks like it would strip out easy.Below is how mine always come out looking of that age.
