Two odd coils
I’ve restored probably a couple hundred coils and have never seen these before. One is marked Kingston with SPECIAL stamped in the end. The other is marked Detroit Coil Co.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Two odd coils
What does the top of the Kingston look like and does it have a regular contact pattern like a t or is it different?

Re: Two odd coils
Maybe the coil marked "special" is Kingston's version of a Model T tractor coil.

Odd? yes, but not uncommmon.
After rebuilding over 24,000 Model T coils I've seen quite a few differentr companies who marketed (and marked with their logo) ignition coils for Model T's
Kingston
Kokomo Electric (only)
Kingston/Kokomo Electric (combind)
Shur Hit
Detroit Coil
Varley Coil
K W Ignition (ink stenciled with and without date code (Circa 1940-1976)
Chicago Electric
Just to name the more commonly seen ones.

Here is a coil you do not see often.
In thirty-five years working on coils i have only seen one.

Re: Two odd coils
Maybe a contract with the US government that was short lived? Probably never know for sure.
