Sounds like the same type solenoid I had on the 46 Ford truck I learned 
to drive on.
It needed a strategically placed kick on the firewall while pushing the 
starter button
to make the solenoid contact and engage the starter. One day it just 
engaged itself when nobody was
in the truck. Lucky my dad was nearby and saw it and was able to stop 
the truck. It was slowly crawling
along with the starter powering it in first gear headed for the chicken 
house.
I don't know if the battery would have lasted long enough for it to 
slowly push up against the house but
I don't think it would have crushed anything.
I think the truck got a new solenoid soon after that.
