Default 1939 strange starting issue

Ok this all started last weekend, went to start car it cranked a few times and then would only emit a click from starter solinoid. Tried to use jumper cable to directly jump starter nothing. Pulled starter cleaned all contact points and bench tested off battery it spins perfectly. Put it back in car and it fired right up. Ran perfectly all week started it every day. Figured it to be ground issue. Today went to start car and it turned over once perfectly and then the click noise again. Gonna try another battery in a bit, but think I have something strange going on. Is it possible starter armature has a bad spot and it stops on it every so often? Did notice yesterday terminal on ignition switch was hot after car had run. Any thoughts.
