Default Different vintage spark plugs for a t???

Guys, I have acquired BOXES upon BOXES of NORS plugs. I believe many are for Model T but would like to be certain.
So, the question is: "What are the plug numbers for other brands"? I have Edison, Jordon, Blue Crown...and a bunch of others.
Thanks men!

A lot of cars during the Model T era used Model T size spark plugs and most all cars of the brass era use Model T spark plugs as well. NOS Model T size spark plugs from the era are always in demand because they look better than the new reproductions and perform better as well. Unlike today, they were not specifically made for a certain vehicle or engine size, it was basically a one size, one spark plug fits all kinds of engines.

Mike Edisons were popular, most often the pictured take apart champion X plugs.

Edison #14 plugs are sought after and work well. There are also #13 plugs and Edison Splitdorf plugs. The Splitdorfs had a distinctive look to them.

This is a good link for sparks. http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages...tml?1508138308

Some folks collect them as conversation pieces.

Guys, Thanks for the help thus far. I quite literally have two crates of plugs in the boxes. It'll take some time to sort.
I did put one set of four plugs on eBay last week for T's, They had the Ford script on them. Kinda cool
