Best I could find were A-9. The below sale has ended and there is not much info, but there are several pictures.
The plugs were made in Auburn, NY and has no connection with the Auburn vehicle.

From the HATRACO website:
The origins of Auburn date back to 1910, when two small companies. "The Auburn Igniters Company" and "The New York Mica and Manufacturing Co." began manufacturing spark plugs using mica as an insulating material. These companies merged to form the Auburn Spark Plug Company, which produced spark plugs for automotive and industrial applications for the next eight decades.

After the Second World War, Auburn expanded its product line, and developed its technology for the emerging markets of the next half of the century. Auburn supplied an igniter for the X-15 manned rocket, insuring engine ignition at high altitudes.
 
Wow thanks so much for your help I really appreciate it Stryker
 
Darn good info WaterWalker. I for one have never heard of them for as long as they have been around and all they have achieved. Isn't this hobby great? One never stops learning. HH jim tn
